Welcome from the SIEF President
Dear participants of the 14th SIEF congress,
It is my great pleasure to greet you at our biennial gathering which turns SIEF’s mission into reality. It brings together scholars and practitioners from E&F and neighbouring disciplines, encourages much needed critical debate, raises public awareness of our elds, and stimulates collegial exchange and a sense of togetherness. This year, we have an opportunity to put our heads together and do what we do best: follow and analyse human tracks, observe their changes and change ourselves in the process. And what better location is there for such an event than Santiago de Compostela, an agent of so many ethnological and folklorist studies, a showcase of transformative powers of space and pathways, and a focal point for a multitude of human practices and narratives.
Congresses of intellectual organisations are often dened as intellectual festivals, as arenas for promoting and celebrating our achievements, for putting away our everyday working routine and enjoying the company of like-minded people and friends. SIEF congress is all that, and more. It is also a context in which we can voice our concerns about unfavourable transformations, address crises and risks, and foster and express our solidarity with colleagues, groups and institutions in precarious situations. I am sure you will join such discussions, which is our strategy to envision and create new pathways for our disciplines. It is also a space for inclusion of early-career scholars in the work of the Society and for their more noticeable presence in our scholarly community. That is why I invite you to take part in the activities organized by the Young Scholars Working Group, including the SIEF2019 Mentorship Programme.
The key component crucial for making various congress activities happen are the people who are ready to participate in the work of SIEF with dedication and enthusiasm. That is why we owe a debt of gratitude to the ecient and welcoming local committee who represent dierent universities and institutions, and their sta and volunteers who joined their forces to make SIEF feel at home while tracking changes. I hope and believe this energy, mobilized during the preparation of SIEF congress, will move our elds forward in Spain and provide them with additional visibility and inuence. Our sponsors, who helped us nancially, but also in goods and services, have contributed signicantly to the successful organisation and good feeling of the congress. I would like to thank especially the Wenner-Gren Foundation, our trustworthy partner over the years, whose generous support makes the participation of numerous colleagues from all over the world in our congresses possible. Without the constant and reliable assistance of NomadIT, SIEF congresses would not be as easy-going and good-humoured occasions as they are. Thank you for that. Finally, I express
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 7 Welcome addresses my gratitude to all of you – working group representatives, panel convenors, paper presenters, roundtable discussants, etc. – for your willingness to immerse yourself in the congress experience and thus strengthen cooperation and build bridges among researchers. Welcome to SIEF2019!
Nevena Škrbić Alempijević SIEF President Welcome from the Local Committee
As a narrative genre, welcome remarks usually start with “On behalf of such and such institution”. On this occasion, this is a bit more complex. We, the local committee, are a group of people not only from Santiago de Compostela. We come from the three Galician universities (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Universidade da Coruña and Universidade de Vigo), the Open University of Spain (UNED - which oers the only degree in anthropology in Galicia), the Incipit CSIC (a research institution dedicated to heritage studies) and the Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD - a Portuguese university close to the border with Galicia). We transcend and challenge the limits of a city, a region and even a country; and we are committed to making you feel welcome to this socio-spatial assemblage.
SIEF2019 is about transformations; about witnessing, provoking, resisting, documenting, drafting, hoping, acting in, performing and suering them. We hope that this congress will look afresh at a classic topic in anthropological and ethnological history, while approaching it as a common trait of many contemporary issues, such as the politics of evidence, ecological change, refugees, migrations, sexuality, gender, and ageing.
Tracking changes is also a way to imagine and produce new futures. In this sense, the local committee will try to maximise the environmental and social responsibility of the congress, both towards congress participants and the place we nd ourselves in. Locally produced Galician food will be served during lunch and coee breaks (provided by “Fogar do Santiso”, a local eco-farm/restaurant), as well as during the closing dinner at a remodelled market in downtown Santiago (“Galiciana”). Thanks to funds from Wenner-Gren and SIEF, almost 10% of delegates have received dierent kinds of support (fee waiver or travel funding) and a fee for low-income participants has been implemented. We are also putting into practice an anti-harassment policy in the congress to avoid situations that, unfortunately, are a structural part of academic meetings (read the ‘purple point’ section of this congress book).
8 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World Welcome addresses
This is the rst time that SIEF holds its biennial congress in Spain. The local committee decided to walk the long track to bring it to Santiago de Compostela as a way of strengthening anthropology in Galicia, which is in a fragile state. Tracking the changes of anthropology in Galicia gives a fragmented and unstable picture of our discipline. For this reason, we particularly thank all delegates and SIEF members for their trust in, and their support of, the Galician Association of Anthropology (Agantro).
We would also like to thank all the institutions that support SIEF2019 as well as the volunteers that made this congress possible. Working together with the scientic committee, NomadIT and the SIEF board has been a pleasant and rewarding experience. We wish all delegates “Buen Camino”. Welcome to Santiago!
The Local Committee
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 9
Theme
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World will deal with processes and practices of transformation – as ways of being and as an endless process of becoming.
We invite scholars, students, and practitioners from the elds of ethnology, folklore studies, anthropology, and allied elds, to explore the many meanings of transformation and track the changes that take place at dierent scales, speeds, and intensities: from the largely unnoticed everyday transformations that create the texture of daily life to major crises that can arise in an instant, from progress and innovation to catastrophe. We invite reections on situated views and multiple perspectives on transforming worlds: precarity and vulnerability; risk and resilience; the expected and the unexpected; the desirable, the undesired, and the undesirable; the predicted, the unpredicted, and the unpredictable.
Track Changes can be read as an imperative, a call for researchers to follow something that moves or alters by noticing the marks or signs that it has left behind, something that our disciplines do well.
Track is also a noun, a rough path by land or sea, with rich connotations of movement, displacement, escape, pilgrimage, travel, and adventure. Santiago de Compostela and the Camino are thus symbolically present in our theme: a pilgrimage route replete with searching and seeking, with crises, risks and fears, but also with chances and changes, hopes and dreams, and the ways people experience and imagine them. Santiago is therefore an ideal place to reect on reaching the end of the road, while at the same time seeing it as a place from which we can imagine ways forward.
Track, the verb, points us to ways of following and being followed, too, whether in course of action, or line of thought. We thus must consider how people’s ways of living, narrating, acting, imagining, and sensing the world can change and how oneself can be changed by choosing a particular route.
A scholarly tradition must always pay constant attention to its theoretical and epistemological disciplinary transformations: where it has been and where it is going. Track Changes is thus an important means for us to explore changes in knowledge production and to be aware of how we ourselves are changed by the transformations we study. SIEF includes people linked to universities, museums, archives, heritage institutions, NGOs, companies, freelance, and unemployed/unlinked specialists. We therefore invite proposals that explore the role of transformation in our own work, taking action, while reecting on, for example, the dialectic role and paradigms of academia, the precarious position of professionals, practices of knowledge co-production, the challenges
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 11 Theme of massively transforming disciplines, and exciting new ways of producing and communicating knowledge.
In Santiago, we would like to develop the variety of presentation formats seen in Göttingen 2017, which saw contributions both in and outside the classroom. We encourage diverse formats and approaches, welcoming participants – academic and non-academic – with the potential to transform the concept of an academic meeting. We welcome proposals that track and celebrate the inner, slow, and untold parts of the processes involved in our work, including diverse forms, such as ‘making-of’ roundtables, non-projects, failures, and other topics and outcomes that are not usually given a voice in academic discourse.
Complex processes of transformation are not abstract, but rather manifest themselves precisely in negotiations and frictions in the everyday. Given these multiple meanings and possibilities, Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World oers participants the opportunity to contribute to the discussion from many dierent perspectives, areas of interest and topics. For instance:
§ How are transformations materialised, embodied and felt in the everyday?
§ What are the narratives and grammars of transformation and of tracking changes?
§ How do social norms transform and transform us?
§ How does gender transform, and how is it transformed itself?
§ How are transformations marked ritually?
§ How are changes around precariousness and security materialised and how are they related to vulnerability, uncertainty, the unreliable, the risky, the fragile, or the improvised?
§ How might climate change transform concepts of normality?
§ How does heritage interact with transformation processes?
§ How do museums and archives represent, track, and reect transformations?
§ What changes are produced in the digital era and how can we track them?
§ On track for the trek?

Using this programme
The timetable on the inside front cover gives the times of the opening, the keynotes, Working Group meetings, panel sessions and other main events. For the timings of specic panels, consult the Programme schedule which shows what is happening chronologically, or the List of panels which lists panels by stream and reference, while also showing locations and convenors. For a birds-eye view of which panels in which thematic streams are happening when, see the rear inside cover. The map on the outside rear cover shows the main locations of the congress activities. This Practical information section aims to help you with the practicalities of being in Santiago de Compostela this week, followed by information on the post-congress pilgrimage and this year’s book exhibit. The Events and meetings section informs you of all the activities that are going on this week outside of the core academic programme, including the reception, the nal party and the many meetings. The Keynotes, special panel, closing roundtable and Young Scholar Prize lecture , Audiovisual Programme, Poster programme, Programme schedule , List of panels and the full set of abstracts follow, which should allow you to navigate the content of the conference. Finally, at the end of the book there is the List of participants to help you identify the panels in which particular colleagues will present their work. If you need any help interpreting the information in the conference book, please ask one of the conference team at the reception desk. Timing of panels
Eight 105-minute panel sessions have been scheduled from 15th to 17th April, three sessions per Monday and Tuesday, two sessions on Wednesday, when the third session is replaced by the closing event. We are using up to 27 panel rooms at a time, so any one panel is up against that number of alternatives. For the timings of specic panels, consult the Programme schedule that shows what is happening chronologically, or the List of panels that lists panels by reference, while also showing locations and convenors. Timing of individual papers
In order to improve the congress experience for those delegates who like to panel-hop, convenors were asked to indicate the distribution of papers across the panel sessions and we’ve divided papers across sessions according to that information in the printed programme (but not online). We have asked panel convenors not to subsequently alter the order and if someone withdraws last- minute, we ask that you all have the patience to then either have discussion in the ‘spare time’ or a break, and hence retain papers in the allocated order.

SIEF2019 congress venues
University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) is one of the world’s oldest universities in continuous operation. The beginnings of the direct predecessor to the University date back over 500 years, to 1495, when a Santiago de Compostela solicitor together with an abbot co-founded San Martiño Pinario, a school for the poor known as “Grammatic Academy” in the monastery of San Paio de Antealtares. Nine years later, Pope Julius II issued a Papal Bull recognizing the institution and allowing for the institution to become a university (the bull for its creation was still only granted by Clement VII in 1526). Starting out with Theology, Grammar and Arts, it soon added Law and Medicine to the subjects taught. Nowadays, the University is organised into three campuses, North Campus and South Campus in Santiago and Lugo respectively that comprise 30 centres, nearly 80 departments and more than 60 degrees in various human, social and natural sciences.
The main venue of the SIEF2019 congress from April 15th to 17th (but NOT on April 14th, the opening day!) is the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration based in the north campus: Facultade de Ciencias Económicas e Empresariais, Campus Norte, Av. do Burgo das Nacións, s/n, 15782 , a beautiful campus located a short walk from the historical centre of town. Catering will be served in the spacious downstairs foyer. This will also be where publishers display their books, where the poster sessions are showcased, and the twoSIEF journals – Cultural Analyses and Ethnologia Europea – will have their launches. All panels will take place in this venue, with thematic clusters allocated rooms close to each other to facilitate panel-hopping!
The opening day, however, will be spent in one of the most contested buildings in Santiago de Compostela: the opulent City of Culture of Galicia (Galician: Cidade da Cultura de Galicia or simply Cidade da Cultura –Monte Gaiás, s/n, 15707), a complex of modern cultural buildings in Santiago de Compostela. In February 1999 the Parliament of Galicia held an international design competition for a cultural centre on Mount Gaiás, with a high number of luminary entrants from all over the world. This was the time of the development bubble in Spain when extravagant building decisions were made all over the country. The competition was won by a group of architects led by Peter Eisenman; the proposal was selected for conceptual uniqueness and exceptional harmony with the natural surroundings. The concept of the project was to add a new peak to Monte Gaiás, made up of a stony crust reminiscent of an archaeological site divided by natural breaks that resemble scallops, the traditional symbol of Compostela.
14 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World Practical information
The construction however proved exceptionally expensive, mostly due to the intricate design. In 2013 it was announced that the construction of the project would be halted, with only part of the original project realised. As the Centre is very expensive to maintain and does not create as much income as was hoped, it remains a contentious piece of real estate and cultural space in Santiago de Compostela.
On the opening day, 14th April, the reception desk and the congress oce (NomadIT) will be working in the MUSEUM building of Cidade da Cultura de Galicia (Monte Gaiás, s/n, 15707) on oor -1. The opening keynote lecture and the welcome drinks reception will all take place on the same oor!
The closing event on 17th April at 16:00-18:00, on the other hand, will take place at Auditorio Abanca (Rúa do Preguntoiro, 23, Santiago de Compostela, 15782), located in the historical centre of Santiago de Compostela. The auditorium has been built into the old palace of the Counts of Ximonde, known as Pazo de Ramirás. The spacious auditorium functions as a space for performances, plays and concerts, as well as academic events. Catering
Conference registration includes coee/tea during two refreshment breaks each day except Wednesday (with just one) and lunch on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be brought to you by local culinary experts the likes of whom we rarely see as conference caterers: Fogar do Santiso, a local company that grows all of the produce they use for cooking anddrink-making on an organic farm nearby (yes, also the beer and wine!). The food they oer is healthy, nutritious, mindful of all allergies and special diets, diverse and 100% Galician. They will be coming to the University with their food trucks to serve out your lunches and refreshment breaks in the foyer of the main venue (Faculty of Economics and Business Administration/Facultade de Ciencias Económicas e Empresariais, Campus Norte, Av. do Burgo das Nacións, s/n, 15782).
Please note that many of the products and services that might create a sense of luxury at the congress were donated by the congress sponsors.
Working Group lunch meetings : Please consult the programme and on-site signage regarding where your group meets; for some groups meeting outside USC, lunch packets will be available at the meeting location (so instead of getting lunch from at the Faculty of Economics, please proceed to the meeting location). The Ritual Year Working Group lunch will take place inside the Museo do Pobo Galego on Monday.

Conference dinner and dance party
The optional congress dinner will take place in the centre of Santiago de Compostela, at Mercado La Galiciana. This is the rst gastronomic market in Galicia, located in a restored industrial space that is over 60 years old. The market has two oors and 16 ‘gastronomic spaces’. We are hoping to avail of as much as they have to oer, both for the dinner and the party afterwards. The dinner will be accompanied by both modern and traditional renditions of Galician folk music. The dinner tickets have sold out a long time ago, but as some colleagues will be keen to sell and others buy, NomadIT will be running a ticket exchange at their oce in Sala Xunta, the ground oor of the main venue at Faculty of Economics and Business Administration/Facultade de Ciencias Económicas e Empresariais, Campus Norte, Av. do Burgo das Nacións, s/n, 15782.
Recycling
NomadIT re-uses the plastic badge holders and lanyards, so please hand these in at the boxes provided on the Reception desk, at the banquet, the nal party, or to a member of the conference team when leaving the conference for the nal time. This not only saves resources, but helps keep registration fees to a minimum. With similar concern for the environment, we ask delegates to use the recycling bins for paper and plastic.
In the city, dierent colour bins are used for recycling purposes: you can nd blue containers for paper, yellow for plastic, green for glass and brown/gray for organic garbage. Reception desk hours
On Sunday, 14th April the Reception desk will be located in the foyer of Ciudade do Cultura. On all other congress days (15th to 17th April), the Reception desk will welcome you at the main venue - in the foyer on the ground oor of the University of Santiago de Compostela’s Faculty of Economics and Business Administration , Facultade de Ciencias Económicas e Empresariais, Campus Norte, Av. do Burgo das Nacións, s/n, 15782 .

Useful info for getting around in Santiago de Compostela
Money The currency in Spain is the euro. As in other EU countries, many shops, hotels and restaurants accept Mastercard, Eurocard, Visa, and Diners Club, but not all businesses are equipped with this option and it is recommended to have some cash on you for quick purchases. Traveller’s checks, dollars, pounds and other currencies can be exchanged in all the banks or you can withdraw euros from ATMs using a debit or credit card. All Banks in Santiago de Compostela are local (i.e. Spanish Banks). There are ATMs and banks throughout the city, but on the campus there is also one “Banco Santander” oce / ATM, right at the main venue – the Faculty of Economics.
Opening hours, eating times Business hours in Santiago are between 09:00-14:00 and 16:00-20:00. Lunchtime is usually between 14:00 and 15:30, but lunch is also served later in some restaurants. In the afternoon/evening, one can have a snack with coee or hot chocolate in establishments all over the city, which is why people do not usually have dinner before 20:00. Most restaurants work – serve food – beyond midnight.
Getting around in Santiago de Compostela This is a city for walking. Grab yourself a map or use your phone for navigation and your feet can take you pretty much anywhere! Cycling, challenging on the cobbled streets, is not very common in SdC, but you can still rent a bike for getting around , see: https://www.tournride.com/ However, the town also has a reliable public transport system that you can research on this website: http://tussa.org/mediateca/benners/BannerPlano2.jpg A single bus ticket costs €1.
If you’ve rented a car, beware: most of Santiago ‘s streets are one-way streets for drivers and almost all streets in the old town are pedestrian-only, although they are open to commercial vehicles from 08:00 to 10:30 for loading and unloading wares. Again, the best advice is to park at your accommodation and walk/take public transport to wherever you wish to go.
Parking is forbidden along the curbs painted yellow or wherever specically indicated; paid parking areas are painted blue and have parking meters nearby.

Sightseeing in Santiago de Compostela
The city, a World Heritage Site, exhibits a unique cultural legacy from the many historical periods that have made Galicia a very individual Spanish region with its own distinctive personality and language and with connections to both land and sea.
The Camino de Santiago ends at the Cathedral , one of the Worlds most outstanding examples of Romanesque architecture. The Cathedral is open to the public every day, and a visit can include a trip to the roof of the Cathedral, the museum, the Gelmírez Palace, the archaeological excavations and the Pórtico de la Gloria. There are also many other important churches and monasteries in the city, including San Paio de Antealtares , Santa María la Real de Sar , Santo Domingo de Bonaval , San Martín Pinario , and San Agustín . The historic centre has well preserved medieval streets and bears traces in its architecture of many ages; a stand-out feature are the stone facades with arcades in the Rúa del Vilar or Rúa Nova (rúa means street in Galician).
Walking through these cobbled streets on a rainy day in April (dont forget to bring suitable rainwear!) or sitting in one of the many squares is a feast for the senses, watching visitors from all over the world passing by, mingling with the locals, or in one of the many bars and restaurants that oer typical Galician food. A must-see is the City Market where farmers from the surrounding areas sell their local produce. The School of History and Art , whose building is a few metres away, has a beautiful library which is well worth a visit. The University of Santiago has its origins at the beginning of the 16th century, when the Fonseca School was built; today, this building is the central library and also an exhibition centre.

The city has other treasures, many of which are exhibited in the City’s 16 museums, amongst which is the Museo do Pobo Galego , dedicated to ethnography, and the Museum of Contemporary Art designed by Siza. There is an amazing wealth of contemporary buildings, designed by Eisenman, Hejduk and Siza. Santiago also has many parks and gardens, one of which (the Alameda) has a circular walk, with ancient trees and stunning views. There is also a great panoramic view from the Pedroso, a mountain that provided the stone for the construction of all the buildings that you can see in the city today.
The Museum of the Galician People (Museo do Pobo Galego) , San Domingos de Bonaval, 15703 Santiago de Compostela W: http://museodopobo.gal/web/index.php?lang=ga T: 981-583620. E: info(at)museodopobo.gal
The Museum of Galician People was created in 1976 with the objectives of research and the preservation, dissemination, defence and promotion of Galician culture in all areas, and, specically, to create and develop a museum at the service of these goals. It acts as the competent central body that combines all museums and public and private collections in the integrated network of Galician museums dedicated to the study, promotion and dissemination of the anthropological heritage of Galicia. The rst rooms were opened in 1977 in the former convent of San Domingos de Bonaval which was donated by the city of Santiago de Compostela. It is located just outside the walls of the old town of Santiago de Compostela, near the Porta do Camino, the gate through which the pilgrims of the Camino Frances entered the city of the Apostle.
The founding of the old convent of Bonaval is attributed to Santo Domingo de Guzman, who, according to tradition, made a pilgrimage to Santiago in 1219. The outward appearance of the convent corresponds to the episcopate of Fray Antonio de Monroy, Archbishop of Santiago between 1685 and 1715, and is the work of Domingo de Andrade. Inside the building, at the northwest corner, is the triple helical staircase which, for its technical and structural audacity is a good example of the virtuosity of Andrade. Within the same space are three separate ramps leading to the dierent oors. This staircase is considered one of the unique elements of the architectural heritage of Compostela.
The Museum has permanent galleries dedicated to sea, the trades, the land, the dress, the music, local environment,architecture and society and the press and printing. It also has sections on archaeology and plasctic arts.

The Museum of Pilgrimage and Santiago , Praza das Praterías, s/n, 15704 Santiago de Compostela W: http://museoperegrinacions.xunta.gal/ T: +34 881 867 315 / + 34 881 867 316 E: informacion.mdperegrinacions(at)xunta.gal
The museum was created in 1951 with the main goal of protecting, preserving, documenting, researching and promoting the material and immaterial assets related to pilgrimage as a universal phenomenon, the inception and evolution of the city of Santiago de Compostela as the end of the pilgrimage, and the Jacobean pilgrimage in all its dimensions. Therefore, the museum devotes its permanent exhibition to dierent aspects related to Santiago and to pilgrimage from a wide range of perspectives. Its halls host diverse pieces on the subject, as well as material from the archaeological excavations of the area of Santiago City Council. Through its temporary exhibitions, the museum explores pilgrimage in other cultures and places of the world.
Today, the museum is located in a new emplacement: the building known as “Banco de España” (Bank of Spain), located in Praza das Praterias - one of the entrances to the Cathedral. The Museum of Pilgrimage and Santiago is owned by the State and managed by the Xunta de Galicia.
Admission: General admission: €2.40, Reduced rate: €1.20 (For holders of youth cards and student cards (over 18), groups of over 15 people who book at least 15 days in advance and pilgrims who present their “Compostela” or similar document.).

Be aware that the map on the latter site and the information there, directs you via Muxia, a longer trail; for the SIEF walkers the intention is to walk directly to Fisterra, by taking the left turn after the village of Olveiroa.
The whole route is however very well signposted and does not require a map.
Please note that SIEF is not the organizer of the pilgrimage, there is no actual organizer. What we will do is give some basic information and collect the names of the walkers. The idea is togive everyone the opportunity to meet colleagues while hiking and eating together on the way from Santiago to Fisterra.
Registration : If you would like to walk the trail, please register your interest by sending an email to: [email protected] .

Keynote 1 The politics of evidence in an uncertain world: experience, knowledge, social facts and factual truth by Susana Narotzky (Universitat de Barcelona) Museum building of Cidade da Cultura de Galicia (Monte Gaiás, s/n, 15707) on oor -1
We live in times of uncertainty. In Europe, a relatively stable political-economic system established after World War II enabled the development of capitalism while ensuring livelihood security and expectations of social mobility for the majority. If we look to other continents or even deeper between the cracks of what has become self-evident knowledge, the narrative of stability and sudden breakdown wavers. Knowledge is never self-evident and is always a struggle about evidence: what is made to exist and what is not; what counts and doesn’t count. It is part of the politics of evidence.
What is to count as evidence, however, in our new technological and post-truth epistemological age where the boundaries between subject and object have apparently collapsed, and the reference to factual truth is inconsistent? Here I wish to address the tension between experience, knowledge, and evidence in elds of power. How is experience valued, and what kind of knowledge about society does it produce? I will explore the dierent kinds of knowledge that we encounter in the eld and how we might engage with them as anthropologists trying to understand what social facts are and the value they have as evidence in political argument and struggle. I suggest we need to unravel the processes of valuation that create truth values, the processes that challenge them, and the processes that foster indeterminacy in the eld of evidence struggles.
Susana Narotzky is Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Barcelona, Spain. She has been awarded a European Research Council Advanced Grant to study the eects of austerity on Southern European livelihoods (Grassroots Economics [GRECO]). She is former President of the European Association of Social Anthropologists, and former Secretary of the American Anthropological Association. Her work is inspired by theories of critical political economy, moral economies, feminist economics, and valuation regimes. Recent writing addresses the themes of making a living in futures without employment, political mobilization, and class. “Rethinking the concept of labour”, JRAI, 2018, is her last publication.

Young Scholar Prize lecture Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (main venue), Aula José Alfonso (Aula A)
The winner of the SIEF2019 Young Scholar Prize Ceri Houlbrook will present her research in a public lecture based on the prize-winning paper The Concealed Revealed: the ‘Afterlives’ of Hidden Objects in the Home.
Post-medieval houses in Britain yield many mysterious nds. Old shoes up chimneybreasts; garments secreted away in roofs; mummied cats bricked up in walls. The natures of their locations confound the theory that they were accidental or incidental deposits. It is much more likely that these objects were being deliberately concealed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, very little appears to have been written contemporaneously about this practice, and so researchers still do not know what beliefs or motivations led to such objects being concealed. Myriad educated guesses have been made, which this paper will explore, before considering how such objects are viewed and treated today, once the concealed is revealed.

Keynote 2 Strike-through and wipe-out: tactics for overwriting the past Tim Ingold (Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Aberdeen) Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Administration (main venue), Aula José Alfonso (Aula A)
Here I will compare two tactics for obliterating the past, in terms of the gestures they entail, the tools they use and how they impact on the surfaces, respectively, of the page and the ground. One is the strike, a rapid, longitudinal movement that cuts a line through the oscillations and meanders of letters and trails, to leave them fragmented but nevertheless visible. The other is the wipe, a non- linear, surface-sweeping movement that seeks to erase all traces of the past
38 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World Keynotes, special panel and closing roundtable but seldom fully succeeds. When it does not, the result is a palimpsest in which the past, far from being overlain by the present, rises to the surface which the present undercuts. Past and present, in short, are turned upside-down.
Tim Ingold is Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen, and a Fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Following 25 years at the University of Manchester, Ingold moved in 1999 to Aberdeen, where he established the UK’s newest Department of Anthropology. Ingold has carried out ethnographic eldwork among Saami and Finnish people in Lapland, and has written on environment, technology and social organisation in the circumpolar North, on the role of animals in human society, on issues in human ecology, and on evolutionary theory in anthropology, biology and history. In his more recent work, he has explored the links between environmental perception and skilled practice, focusing on questions of movement, knowledge and description. His current research is situated at the interface between anthropology, archaeology, art and architecture. He is the author of The Perception of the Environment (2000), Lines (2007), Being Alive (2011), Making (2013) The Life of Lines (2015), Anthropology and/as Education (2017) and Anthropology: Why it Matters (2018).

Keynote 3 Digital footprints and narrative traceability/Narrative footprints and digital traceability Coppélie Cocq (Professor of European Ethnology at the University of Helsinki) Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (main venue), Aula José Alfonso (Aula A)
The stories we tell and are told, the images we see and share, the ways we communicate nd new paths and come to expression in new forms of networks, other agoras (to borrow Foley’s terminology) and at a faster pace. Nonetheless, we ought to examine what the novelty of contemporary storytelling consists in when it conquers digital forms and environments. Likewise, the digital brings us new tools and possibilities of access to data – but how much have our disciplines, methods, approaches and concepts actually transformed and changed? And how much have we assessed the capacity of adaptation of our disciplines for embracing the study of what takes place online and in relation to the digital?
From this vantage point, I will give particular attention to the footprints and the traceability of our doings and our data in order to highlight the ows, continuity and ruptures of what we do and tell. Based on examples from a variety of contexts, I will illustrate how our quest for renewal, novelty and innovation is strongly anchored in, subjected to and depends upon our habits, old-fashioned ways and ability to observe the world around us. Further, I will argue that in research like in storytelling, the value of vintage equals the value of novelty and originality.
Coppélie Cocq is Professor of European Ethnology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. She holds a PhD degree in Sámi Studies from Umeå University, Sweden and her primary research interests lie in the elds of folkloristics and digital humanities, with specic focus on storytelling, place-making and revitalization in Indigenous contexts. Her recent work focus on the use of digital media in minority and Indigenous groups and on knowledge production in digital settings.

Lecture: Agents of Transformation: The Role of Museums in a Changing World Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett
Historically dedicated to arresting time by collecting and preserving the past, museums are increasingly addressing change and becoming agents of transformation in their own right. These developments are a response to dramatic and rapid developments in the worlds in which they operate, whether as the result of war, migration, politics, policy, or shifting social attitudes and relations. Above all, it is the focus of museums on their communities, whether the source communities from which they formed their collections or the communities they serve today, that holds the key to their transformative potential. So signicant are these shifts that ICOM, UNESCO’s International Council of Museums, has called for a revised denition of “museum” that better reects what they have become. How might ethnographers and folklorists contribute to a better understanding of these developments?
Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett is Chief Curator of the Core Exhibition at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and University Professor Emerita and Professor Emerita of Performance Studies at New York University. Her books include Destination Culture: Tourism, Museums, and Heritage; Image before My Eyes: A Photographic History of Jewish Life in Poland, 1864–1939 (with Lucjan Dobroszycki); and They Called Me Mayer July: Painted Memories of a Jewish Childhood in Poland Before the Holocaust (with Mayer Kirshenblatt). She received the Ocer’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She currently serves on Advisory Boards for Jewish museums in Vienna, Berlin, and Moscow.

Before moving back to Europe, she taught Folklore and Folklife at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. From 2001- 2008, she was president of SIEF. She loves her discipline, because it allows for an enormous breadth of topics and approaches to everyday life, present and past.
At the moment, she works on narratives about 1967 in Israel and Palestine in a joint project with colleagues there, as well as on issues of tacit knowledge in crafts in Germany. Before that, she has focused on questions of cultural property and heritage. A collection of her articles on that topic appeared in 2018 under the title Culture and Value. Tourism, Heritage, and Property . She is co-editor of the journal Narrative Culture .

She is current President of the American Folklore Society and a former SIEF board member; she holds a doctorate honoris causa from the University of Tartu. Her book in progress is entitled Exemplary Failures: Gesture and Inuence in Liberal Politics .
Sharon Roseman is Associate Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Professor of Anthropology at Memorial University in St. John’s, Canada. The rst two decades of her career were focused on the ethnography and contemporary history of Galicia (Spain), with a concentration on everyday experiences of gender and work; new ruralities; craft and other forms of heritage revitalization; memory, language, and cultural politics; and migration, tourism and pilgrimage. Her current research deals with experiences of precarious mobility and mobility justice activism in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Age
Reections on practices, experiences and representations of cultures of various generations and of ageing. Age01. Young scholars working group: youth cultures in a transforming world; practices, experiences, representations Convenors: Franziska Weidle (Georg-August-University Göttingen, Germany); Nada Kujundžić (University of Turku/University of Zagreb) Aula 10: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The panel proposes to bring together both theoretical and practical explorations of the dierent aspects of youth and youth culture, from theoretical musings on the possibilities of dening youth and youth culture, through lived experiences, to studies of specic youth practices and various media representations of youth (culture). What is the position of youth (culture) in the transforming world of today? What are some the challenges faced by young people (whether real or perceived) today? How has the emergence of new technology and social media aected youth culture? What are some of its contemporary manifestations? These are only a few of the questions we would like to address in this panel. We especially encourage contributions dedicated to the position and challenges faced by young scholars – as a distinct group within youth culture – seeking to establish themselves within the transforming world of academia.
Age02. Practices and materialisations of active ageing Convenors: Aske Juul Lassen (University of Copenhagen); Daniel Lopez Gomez (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya) Aula 10: Tue 16th Apr, 16:30-18:15
Since the 1990s, active ageing has changed the ways old age has been organised and congured. Active ageing is a fusion of many dierent ageing theories positioning ageing as malleable, and dierent kinds of activities as rejuvenating (Lassen & Moreira 2014). With the ageing populations, the healthy generations currently entering old age and the call for an overall change in the ways we perceive old age, active ageing has spread from political forums in the EU and WHO, to local forms of governance, the silver economy and the everyday lives of older people. While active ageing has been widely studied and criticised, most of these studies have been conceptual and discursive. Only few studies have inquired into practices, technologies and material interventions that pursue active ageing. However, with an increasing interest for socio- gerontechnology and the socio-material constitution of later life by ethnologists, gerontologists and STS researchers, the time is ripe to inquire into one of the
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 137 List of panels major transformations of the 21st century: the reconguration of the life course and the practices, policies and technologies forming this change. With this panel, we wish to track the changes of old age in the slipstream of active ageing policies and discourses, and inquire into how active ageing has materialised in various ways. We encourage papers that ask what kinds of new practices, tracks, technologies, infrastructures, rituals, digitalisations, dwellings and imaginaries that have emerged from the ways active ageing position old age as a new, active phase of life.
Age03. Tracking age in a transforming world Convenors: Sandra Hillén (University of Gothenburg); Gabriella Nilsson (Lund University) Aula 10: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The demographic challenges of an ageing world put meanings, functions and consequences of age in the limelight. In most countries, age is an attractive tool for governmental practice. A broad spectrum of civil rights and obligations, resources and responsibilities, are tied to dierent ages, in various ways enabling and limiting the lives of the citizens. However, age is also a concept charged with dierent cultural meanings depending on the social and historical context. In times of welfare challenges the historical and cultural motivation for a certain age limit is sometimes made visible, and age norms problematized and questioned. Age and age categorizations are central parameters in many research elds and academic disciplines; however the meanings of age are not always explicitly addressed as the main interest, or as a more general matter. Sought with this panel is a platform where the various meanings and implications of age are made transparent; that reects on the transformations of what is expected, desired and predicted in dierent stages of life, and what is not. We invite papers that, from a broad spectra of empirical angles, address and problematize narratives, norms, practices, power relations, embodiments and materialisations of age in a transforming world. How are dierent ages done, perceived, categorized and valued through time and space, in dierent environments and situations. Hereby the panel wishes to elaborate a perspective on age that is both politically and scholarly signicant, as well as to strengthen the internationally growing theoretical eld of critical age studies.
Age04. Tracking changing childhoods: methodological considerations and innovations [P+R] Convenors: Maria Isabel Jociles Rubio (Universidad Complutense de Madrid); David Poveda (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) Aula 10: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
138 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels
Our starting point is a robust tradition of ethnographic and/or qualitative research on children and childhood developed over almost ve decades but, in this panel, we turn our attention to emergent areas of research centrally focused on childhood experiences and conditions with little historical precedent. Some of the topics (among others) that we see as part of this contemporary context may connect with new family forms facilitated through assisted reproductive technologies, the global/transnational connections and trajectories of migrant children and youth, digital media and childhood, emergent uid/non-binary gender identities, contemporary expressive practices, institutional experiences in changing socio-political and economic conditions, etc. From our perspective, addressing any of these emergent issues involves extending, revisiting and rethinking the conventional methodological tool-kit of ethnographic and qualitative research on childhood. The session is conceived as an opportunity for childhood scholars to take stock and discuss methodological dissatisfactions and the methodological decision-making that helped them move forward, including intersections with ethical and epistemological concerns. We seek contributions from a wide variety of geographical contexts, working at the juncture of dierent disciplines and who have approached methodological decisions dierently, including (but not limited to) putting into dialogue dierent analytical traditions, creating novel methodological devices and/or transforming research relations and dynamics. In this context, individual papers in the panel section may combine the presentation of substantial ndings and methodological reection, while the roundtable discussion will focus on cross- cutting methodological/ethical/epistemological themes across research projects and experiences.
Archives and Museums
The future of archives and museums, traditions of institutional and individual archiving and museum practices, and disciplinary concerns about the use and future of archives and museums. Arch01. Participatory archives in a transforming world [SIEF Working Group on Archives] [P+R] Convenors: Ave Goršič (Estonian Literary Museum); Sanita Reinsone (Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art, University of Latvia) Aula 7: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Collaborative work and folklore collecting have been closely related concepts since the 19th century when the collection and study of folklore was undertaken on such a large scale as never before. The history and practices of folklore collecting convincingly prove the success and fruitfulness of the collaborative

The digital age has forced tradition archives to adapt their working strategies in order to address digitally literate generations that are more likely to prefer the virtual sharing of knowledge that tradition archives are interested in. Involving society in collecting folklore digitally is a continuation of the key process performed and managed by tradition/cultural archives since their establishment.Tradition archives stem from the ideas of knowledge keeping and participation, encouraging continuous participation to keep themselves open and functioning through transformations, thus also explaining the necessity of continuation of their existence. The panel invites submissions that focus on dierent participatory practices carried out by tradition/cultural archives in dierent times and (1) trace past experiences of tradition archives in broad society engagement, reveal methods and discuss results, as well as continuity or conict of practices; (2) discuss transition of participatory practices during various transformations political, cultural, digital and others; (3) critically reveal archival participatory approaches used in the digital age and (4) reveal case studies illustrating participatory practices in folklore collecting.
Arch02. Keeping track of your eld data [SIEF Working Group on Archives] [W] Convenors: Maryna Chernyavska (University of Alberta); Kelly Fitzgerald (University College Dublin) Aula 6: Tue 16th Apr, 11:15-13:00
Conducting eldwork is the essential part of being a folklorist or an ethnologist. We document cultural expressions and collect huge amount of data in our everyday professional life. Managing the data we have collected may feel overwhelming. Having to organize and make sense of hundreds or thousands of les, ensuring we have ability and equipment to open those les years later are just a few of many challenges researchers face. How do we manage eldwork data? In this workshop, participants will learn basic principles and best practices of eld research data management, including le format conventions, le versioning, best practices creating metadata, and other practical skills necessary to use eldwork data eciently. Utilizing a sustainable approach to eldwork data management will make it possible for researchers to use and reuse it, as well as to make it available for other audiences. It is our responsibility not only to our discipline, but rst and foremost to the people we study and who let us learn from them.

Arch03. Collaborative curation: towards a slow archives movement Convenors: Kimberly Christen (Washington State University); Guha Shankar (Library of Congress) Aula 5: Tue 16th Apr, 16:30-18:15
The contours of collaboration are diverse. Histories of collection, contact, and colonialism manifest in multiple and often overlapping ways. These histories provide a foundation for relationships that can be both fruitful and fraught. By examining the transformations over long-term relationships made through diverse ways of stewarding collections and the temporal reach of collections themselves, we begin to see how archival practices from curation to access to preservation are made and unmade and woven together through long-term care. By emphasizing a slow archives practice and process we can examine the transformations of knowledge, the shifts in values, and the ways that access and use shift with diverse sets of needs. While corporate models and institutional mandates in recent decades have privileged processing speed and minimal descriptions, this panel examines slow archival models as a way to track how ethical commitments and engagements can be embedded in the structure of archives. Specically, this panel will examine how digital tools, platforms, and processes, on the one hand, and long-term partnerships and personal communication among and between institutional professionals and indigenous community members, on the other, intervene in a systematic way in archival practices and result in the representation of diverse perspectives in the public record.
Arch04. Museums and material culture: tracking the impact of the participatory turn Convenors: Uta Karrer (University of Basel); Hester Dibbits (Reinwardt Academy for Cultural Heritage) Aula 5: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
This panel investigates the impact of the participatory paradigm on museum policy and practice by tracking changes in (the discourse on) processes of musealisation. All over Europe, as elsewhere, museums and heritage professionals have been trying to work according to what they consider as the ‘participatory approach’. Transforming societies have lead to new tasks and responsibilities for museums and museum workers. Participatory methods have been considered an appropriate response to the challenges museums have been facing in a transforming world. Special community projects were initiated and events for the neighbours were organized. Sometimes visitors were asked to collaborate in the making of an exhibition, in other cases community members
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 141 List of panels were asked to hand in (or hand over) objects for the collection. Other kinds of participative initiatives can also be found. What they share, is the idea that this approach increases the relevance of museums for the society: the museum should be an inclusive, democratic platform, accessible to everybody. How has this idea been articulated and what does it mean, in practice? We welcome papers that focus on museum management, collecting practices, audience orientation or community work. We are interested in your methodological reections – how did you, as a researcher, track the actual impact of the participatory paradigm – and in your own vision on the phenomenon as such: how do you position yourself in the participatory paradigm?
Arch05. Museums reconsidered: heritage in a transforming world Convenors: Xose Carlos Sierra; Fatima Brana (University of Vigo) Aula 5: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45
This event explores museums’ inherent potential in being powerful instruments for social inclusion and communities’ advocacy: how can museums and heritage policies disentangled themselves from structural inequality? How can grassroots groups and collectives help in the creation of a common language and shared practices with communities? The morning panel will conjure up papers that reect on collaborative projects with communities in the elds of museums and heritage, as well as alternative means of doing heritage in contemporary society that have contributed to the construction of social equality. Interestingly, representations and memories of specic groups are discriminated within heritage practices in the same way as they are in the broader social context: heritage narratives usually reinforce the status quo, rather than developing inclusion and equality. The panel will reect whether collaborative projects can ecaciously deconstruct inequality. After panel session, twenty selected participants will be subdivided in four groups in order to realize a small exhibition—informed by communities’ knowledge or that functions as a creative intervention against inequality—that will be hosted in the conference venue the following day. With this purpose in mind, participants will be asked to bring at the event ethnographic data, including material artefacts and multimedia, previously submitted to the panelists. Additional material for the realization of the exhibition—supports for the installation, etc.—will be negotiated after the selection procedure with participants. Given the dierent formats of the event, the second session will be hosted in a space more suitable for the realization of the exhibition.

Body, Aects, Senses, Emotions
Aspects of the body, embodiment, senses and emotional life in the context of cultural practices and lived experience, as well as politics and social movements. Body01.

Ethnologists and folklorists employ a range of perspectives when probing dierent aspects of socio-cultural phenomena related to the body, aects, senses and emotions. Rather than constituting a eld in its own right, their research engages with and enriches established research areas. This panel
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 143 List of panels will continue to explore the creative potential the perspective has brought to research areas discussed at previous BASE working group meetings, like migration, sports, material culture, religious practices, theatrical performances, music, dwelling, and so on. What are the most rewarding outcomes? In how far are they innovative in the context of a particular research eld? How do they ll the gaps in the existent understandings of particular phenomena, notably those engaging body and senses? Which diculties do researchers encounter when trying to apply this lens to the existent ethnographic and folkloristic data? In what way does it change the ways we engage in ethnographic work and does it allow for establishment of novel eldwork-based epistemologies? We welcome proposals for papers that deal with historical and contemporary materials, old and new topics, original eldwork or archival material. However, by clearly addressing the questions noted above, the papers should focus on exploring the creative potential – as well as the challenges – presented by the lens of aect and emotion.
Body02. Aect and atmospheres in the ethnographic between [SIEF Working Group on Body, Aects, Senses, and Emotions (BASE)] Convenors: Birgit Abels (Georg August University Göttingen); Deborah Kapchan (New York University) Aula 1: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
How do we understand the role of aect and atmospheres in the co-creation and transformation of social worlds (Brennan 2004; Schmitz 2011)? How imagine a phenomenology of aect and a theory of atmosphere for ethnography? What can scholars gain from such approaches? In short, how to “track” the aect of social transformation and the transformation of social aect? Academic and theoretical interests emerge from social contexts and political moments. With the current rise in social upheavals (the Arab spring, wars in the Middle East, refugees in Europe, economic and ecological crises) it is not surprising that social theorists have turned to aect and its ethical implications as one pertinent philosophical landscape (Massumi 2002). An understanding of the performativity of aect – what it is (not), what it can(not) do – is essential to any analysis of cultural transformation. At the same time, the re-birth of populist regimes across the globe in recent years suggests that there is another force we urgently need to consider in such analysis: atmospheres and how they are capable of stirring political movements and social transformation. In this panel we employ theories of the body, sound and listening (Csordas 1987; Ihde 1976; Merleau-Ponty1960) and combine them with recent theories of aect and atmospheres (Abels 2018; Ahmed 2006; Brennan 2004; Eisenlohr 2018; Schmitz 2011). We aim to develop new vocabularies for understanding what is between- between body and body,

Body03. Fashion fast forward: transforming body, fabric and media in a changing world [P+R] Convenor: Marion Lean (Royal College of Art) Chair: Fatma Sagir (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) Aula 2: Mon 15th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
With the rise of celebrity culture and fashion and lifestyle blogging the body is at the centre of attention. Fashion shows have opened to include bloggers enabling broader audiences beyond professional designers, luxury consumers and fashion journalists. The creation of these new actors is one side eect of the accompanying debates on body awareness and diversity, tugging along discussions about bodily practices in digital culture as much as in “real life”. New media technology changed the way the body and self is presented through digital alterations of images, but it also gave way to innovative approaches towards creating textiles and designs. Novel materials and wearable technology applications create further possibility to recreate the body and its interpretations presented not only as imagery, but abstract data visualisations. Sharing and competing using data representations has potential to inuence positive changes in health but also marginalises users to digital selves, also seen through use of online personas on social media platforms. As the body, becoming a status symbol in itself, is presented in new dimensions, it is the designers turn to disrupt/appropriate innovation using new, functional smart materials as well as traditional fabrics and techniques and their cultural narratives to create new designs mirroring these changes. In doing so, they face challenges from serving questions of health, sustainability, economic and gender justice as much as aesthetics and design innovation. This panel seeks to explore these challenges and transformations from a variety of perspectives such as new materialism and its practices, among others.
Body04. Assisted reproduction with third-party participation: surpassing the limits of kinship Convenors: Nancy Anne Konvalinka (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia); Ana María Rivas (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) Aula 1: Tue 16th Apr, 16:30-18:15
Assisted Reproduction Techniques and Gestational Surrogacy open the way for the agreed-upon participation of third parties in family formation. This participation surpasses the traditionally-established limits of two parents (man and woman) in the conception of children, violating the principles of bilaterality
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 145 List of panels and natural conception. The experience of these techniques becomes a process of shaping subjectivities that leads the people that use them -receiving families and donors/surrogates- to modify a biogenetic conception of kinship in the direction of an intentional conception: procreative will and childrearing are what construct kinship for some -the families- and de-construct it for others -donors and surrogates. Ethnographic research oers both cases in which the intentional parents avoid visibilizing third-party participation in the conception of their children and cases in which they imagine new roles for these people in their discourses on their family formation or even in their family life itself. In this panel, we will explore 1) the roles granted or not granted to these third parties -gamete donors and gestational surrogates- by parents and children in their families, 2) donors and surrogates representations of their relations of (dis)connectedness with the receiving families and the descendants conceived through their intervention, 3) the role of assisted reproduction centers, surrogacy companies or agencies, and legal frameworks have in contributing to this (dis) connection

Food settles in cities in novel ways that include gardens, health food shops and freegan movements to street food, food trucks and food delivery. These changes do not only produce new social congurations, they also aect sensorial experience of food and urban space. This panel aims to explore the relationship between changing urban food practices and the senses. We ask how city and food practices co-produce each other. How are social relations and distinctions reproduced and reshaped through introduced and diverse cooking styles? What role do the senses play in the production, preparation, and consumption of food as our cities evolve? How do particular foods evoke memories of home for new arrivals or provide a means of understanding ‘the other’ for people who stay put? How do sensorial aspects from community gardens, shared meals or ritual feasts foster new communities? In times of change, what food practices stay, go, or return revised and how are these remembered? How do smells and tastes of food accompany life and urban transitions? Recognising the physicality of food, senses and space, the workshop takes to the streets on a walking tour to explore how food is being sensed in Santiago, visiting locations such as open air markets, cultural food stalls, and urban agricultural plots. Techniques of audio, photos and mapping will be employed to interrogate these connections to bring together afterwards as a collaborative media display in the form of a sensory mapping and ‘cookbook.’

Body06. Body, aect, senses and emotion: elds and perspectives [SIEF Working Group on Body, Aects, Senses, and Emotions (BASE)] Convenors: Monique Scheer (University of Tuebingen); Maja Povrzanovic Frykman (Malmö University) Chair: Kerstin Pfeier (Heriot-Watt University) Discussant: Jonas Frykman (Lund University) Aula 1: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
This panel seeks to explore historically and culturally continent ways in which people feel, see, hear, smell, touch taste or express their feelings and sensations, and the ways in which such experiences are expressed, represented and conceptualised in or through a variety of artistic forms and objects. It aims to encourage discussion on the advantages and limitations of engaging with bodies, aects, senses and emotions for dierent academic elds, as well as reection on the extent to which prevailing interpretative paradigms in ethnology, anthropology and related disciplines can be interrogated, shaped and perhaps shifted through a scholarly focus on aective and sensory experience.

New networked nationalisms: tracking the role of digital ethnology and folklore in a changing political landscape [SIEF Working Group on Digital Ethnology and Folklore (DEF)] [P+R] Convenors: Christoph Bareither (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin); Andrew Peck (Miami University) Aula 30: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Over the last decade many countries in Europe and North America have seen a surge of nationalism in mainstream political discourse. Marked by a string of high-prole successes like Brexit in Europe and the election of President Donald Trump in the United States, these campaigns thrive on a particular emotional rhetoric often described as “populist.” Whether appealing to tradition, constructing “authentic” national identity, or extolling “common sense” values and anti-elitism, these movements oer citizens the promise to “take back control” from outside forces or to make their country “great again.” While the appropriation of folk practices and tradition for nationalist aims is nothing new,
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 147 List of panels digital media oer many new possibilities for these movements to form and circulate their messages unbound by geography or mass media gatekeepers. As politicians, activists, and everyday users take to social media to spread their nationalistic messages, folklorists and ethnologists are in a unique position to track how these movements enact old behaviors in new media. This panel will investigate how these new political and emotional practices are enabled by the aordances of digital networks and the impact of these changes on contemporary politics, culture, and social movements. We invite contributions on a variety of topics and methods, including (but not limited to) vernacular digital expressions of: Xenophobia (including Islamophobia, antisemitism, anti- immigration, anti-globalism, and orientalism);Fake news (including rumors, hoaxes, alternative facts, contemporary legends, and conspiracy theories); Nationalism (including political constructions of heritage, tradition, identity, history, and anti-intellectualism through digital media).
Digi02. Changing features? Performing the self in digital culture [SIEF WG Digital Ethnology and Folklore] [P+R] Convenors: Fatma Sagir (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg); Robert Glenn Howard (University of Wisconsin-Madison) Aula 30: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Long before the emergence of Instagram and YouTube as digital platforms for self-presentation and self-re-presentation (Thumim 2015), Sherry Turkles The Second Self (1984) explored the question how computers and technology change our view of ourselves by recognizing computers had begun shape our social lives. Today, not only our attitude towards technology in our everyday lives seems to be profoundly changed but also our understanding and the presentation of ourselves in digital culture is shifting.From soup to spa, digital culture shares everything of everyday life. Objects, spaces and people are constantly being documented. Through these practices, a huge global market has emerged. Digital culture oers a space to position the user’s image, to arrange elements of everyday life as if props for the performance of selves. Erving Goman’s ideas on the presentation of the self derive from the world of theatre, where stage, actor and performance emerge inseparably together. Taking perspective to the digital age emphasises the dynamics between technology, users, and audience.This panel seek to explore questions such as: What does the constant documentation of everyday life do to the self? Are private lives dierent from public lives, when the private is made public through broadcasting from spaces that are generally considered private, such as the bedroom? How does the digital in digital culture support these exposures of the self? We invite paper presentations (15-20 min) from dierent elds and

Digi03. Online cultural narratives: tracking changes in territorial representations. Convenors: Lucrezia Lopez (University of Santiago de Compostela); Inês Gusman (Universidade Do Porto/Universidade De Santiago De Compostela) Aula 30: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Social actors are now constantly interconnected. Due to the advent of Web 2.0 and the evolution of social media, people are more eager to express and share their opinions on the web. Among its potentialities, online platforms are relevant spaces where informal and shared cultural narratives are being (re) produced and negotiated by users from dierent contexts. These changes engender renewed territorial relations. The panel aims to explore and track how social media users give course to specic cultural narrative productions. It also aims to understand to what extent can these virtual spaces impact on real vs. symbolic narrative practices. The session welcomes proposals from dierent disciplines focused on the study of cultural narratives in online media spaces. Papers should address the following questions: How are cultural narratives being shaped by informal and shared narratives produced on the web and media spaces? What changes are being produced in the digital era and how can research track them? To what extent can online cultural narratives inuence people’s experience and perceptions of territory? How is it possible to adapt conventional research approaches in cultural studies to the web context? The panel is particularly interested in drawing together innovative methods and tools used to analyze these changes, including methodological frameworks like (but not limited to): Netnography, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Sentiment Analysis, Opinion Mining, User-Generated Content (UGC) or Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI).
Digi04. Digital ethnography and transformations: tracking cultural expressions in the contemporary world [W] Convenors: Juan del Nido (University of Manchester); Christian Ritter (Tallinn University) Aula 30: Mon 15th Apr, 16:30-18:15
This participatory workshop will bring together folklorists, ethnologists, and anthropologists sharing the aim to understand the role of digital media industries in cultural transformations. Digital media platforms emerged as the dominant infrastructural and economic model of the internet. Blogs, memes, and apps became recurring forms of cultural expression. Committed to a
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 149 List of panels materialistic approach to digital media platforms, the workshop provides insights into the embodiment of media technologies in the digital age. Digital content, context, and technology are material in the sense that they carry the symbolic meanings individuals exchange over the internet. Not only data centers, computer screens, processors, and keyboards are elements of this material world, but also the aordances of interfaces facilitating communication through digital media platforms.Inviting ethnographers conducting eldwork on the current transformations of cultural phenomena, the workshop will present research strategies for unravelling the dynamics of accelerated change in the contemporary world (Eriksen, 2016). The ubiquitous implementation of media technologies in everyday life requires a rethinking of ethnographic data collection and analysis. In the rst part of the workshop, attendees will become familiar with recent approaches in digital ethnography (Pink et al., 2017), and the walkthrough method (Light et al., 2016), while discussing research ethics and strategies for integrating internet research techniques with traditional ethnographic eldwork. In the second part, participants will form small groups to reect on experimental forms of ethnography and develop methodologies for studying cultural transformations. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own devices and use the local Wi-Fi (20 participants max).

While historiographies of ethnology/folklore are abundant, mostly they are written in a mood of “progress.” We believe that the folklore historian should not simply summarize the previously established insights, but rather question them. This panel aims to challenge such uncritical histories vis à vis the those with novel approaches (e.g., Herzfeld, Zumwalt, Bendix) which trace and track disciplinary histories through key concepts (e.g. nationalism, literary vs. anthropological perspectives, authenticity). We invite scholars to
150 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels discuss approaches that transcend entrenched conventional models. Possible topics:Tracing an integrative history: Are interactions, truces, connections, discontinues traceable and critically rethinkable? How can we handle local/ national issues but also connect them to a global/international scholarship? Authority in tracing: What are the challenges in writing “sound” and competent histories of folklore, borrowing the model from R. Darnell? Who has the right to trace such histories-historians or practicing scholars? Models of tracing: What are the problematics of historicist, or presentist approaches (Stocking)? Is tracking histories a matter of epistemology, positionality, and interpretation— going “beyond the words” of traditional historical documents (Brown/Vibert 1996)? Sources of tracking: Where do we turn to for a history of discipline? How do we access our sources? Can we produce a history not based on the succession of names but see to the social conditions through which scholarship is formed (histoire croisée)? Tracking the audience: Who needs disciplinary histories? Can histories, and which ones, be used as transformative tools for the discipline?
Disc02. Making tracks: walking as embodied research methodology [P+R] Convenors: Nick Shepherd (Aarhus University); Dirk-Jan Visser; Christian Ernsten (Maastricht University) Aula 17: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
In this panel and roundtable, we are interested in exploring the politics and poetics of walking as a form of embodied research methodology. Taking points of inspiration from STS, artistic research methods, practice as research, and the debate around decolonial aesthesis, and from disciplinary practices like archaeological eld walking, we are interested in what it means for scholars, artists, curators and activists to walk together as a form of research practice. We are engaged by notions of the trail and the pilgrimage, and by the parallels between walking and story-telling or narrative. We are also engaged by the idea of walking as a way of encountering the emergent landscapes of the Anthropocene. What happens when we come out of the white cube of the seminar room? How does walking open out to forms of aective and sensorial research? What new forms of curiosity are aroused by the craft of walking? How does walking as research method cut across disciplinary boundaries and enable new collaborations and visions? How does walking challenge embedded dichotomies between mind and body, reason and emotion? We invite papers from scholars, artists, curators, activists and practitioners of all kinds to join us in this exploration of walking. On the completion fo the conference, we invite you to walk with us to Finisterre.

Disc03. Location and generation: scholarly mobility and disciplinary (in-)coherence [R] Convenors: Regina F. Bendix (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen); Ullrich Kockel (Heriot-Watt University) Aula 11: Tue 16th Apr, 16:30-18:15
When choosing to study a particular discipline, perhaps pursuing a Ph.D. in that eld and feeling encouraged to pursue an academic career, a young scholar rarely foresees the track changes that lie ahead, particularly in elds such as European Ethnology and Folkloristics. A postdoc may require an interdisciplinary focus; a rst academic position may be focused on teaching students how to write papers and leave little time for research in one’s actual eld. Alternately, a position may be in a dierent country from the one a person has trained in and confront the lucky winner with a rather dierent disciplinary conguration and habitus. Positions may be conned to three or less years, foreshadowing a future move already when one begins, or they may contain the task of building up a particular new direction not as of yet articulated within one’s original eld of study. Within Europe, and within the disciplines gathered under SIEF’s umbrella, the opportunities and the challenges to be mobile and intellectually exible have arguably massively increased. The present round table seeks to bring together scholars of dierent generations whose biographies contain multiple moves. Do such mobile spirits have an impact on disciplinary congurations locally and/or internationally? What parameters are fruitful for an internationalized, supra-local articulation of a discipline and what stumbling blocks are there?
Disc04. Tracking knowledge. On the history of changing disciplinary identities after 1945 [SIEF Working Group Historical Approaches in Cultural Analysis] [P+R] Convenors: Magdalena Puchberger (Museum für Volkskunde Wien); Konrad Kuhn (University of Innsbruck) Aula 13: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Ethnological disciplines in Europe faced multiple challenges after World War II: The war not only had cutting eects on scientic cooperations and international scientic institutions, the discipline of german-speaking “Volkskunde” was also discredited due to collaboration with the fascist regimes. Furthermore the Cold War brought new political aordances for the discipline and its broader societal contexts in European countries and thus divided the discipline in specic national contexts. The years after 1945 were therefore a time of searching new tracks in epistemology, of leaving old paths of scientic work, of (re)dening contents and of searching a new disciplinary identity. We take the congress
152 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels theme of “Track Changes” as a perspective to reect on dierent ways of new orientations in scientic and societal and political work, of leaving “old tracks” behind and of taking new routes to a disciplinary future in the years between 1945 and 1980s. We do not aim at specic institutional or biographical histories, but rather look at three dimensions of tracking knowledge: First as new epistemological perspectives, e. g. with the inuence of sociological questions or with the new focus on urban contexts. Second we are interested in the complex relations of disciplinary developments with political conditions, with science and university politics and with ongoing transformations and dynamics in European societies. The third aspect deals with the existence of a cognitive disciplinary identity after 1945 and reects on the logic behind writing knowledge and disciplinary history in our eld from a today’s perspective.
Disc05. Changement de cap ou erreur d’aiguillage? L’ethnologie européenne et le folklore face aux transformations du monde contemporain [Francophone Network] Convenors: Inga B.

Le titre de notre congrès, « Track changes », peut être lu de deux manières diérentes, de manière optimiste puisque un changement de cap mène toujours une nouvelle destination, ou de manière plus pessimiste si lon considère quil est dicile, une fois modiée la direction, d’en changer à nouveau. Appliqué à nos disciplines, ce questionnement invite à revisiter le chemin parcouru depuis leur fondation et à s’interroger sur leur histoire. A partir du XIXe siècle lethnologie européenne et le folklore ont accompagné la construction des identités nationales. Pour certains auteurs, cependant, il est possible d’utiliser aussi ces disciplines pour revaloriser des cultures subalternes ou marginales. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui, dans un monde postmoderne – ou ultramoderne, si lon veut de plus en plus décrit comme mouvant et polysémique ? Comment adapter nos disciplines et comment faire valoir leur pertinence pour analyser les transformations du monde contemporain ? Dans ce panel, nous voudrions réunir dune part des contributions plus théoriques qui concernent lhistoire de lethnologie européenne et du folklore ou leur place dans le monde contemporain, et dautre part des compte-rendu de recherches de terrain qui illustrent les usages possibles de nos disciplines pour étudier les transformations actuelles des pratiques sociales et culturelles.

Disc06. Tracking the creative process: conversations in art- making and academic research [P+R] Convenors: Norma Cantu (Trinity University); Tessa Jacobs (The Ohio State University); Hannah Bradley (Princeton University) Aula 15: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
“Closer to the ground than we are the artists and activists who make social life and whose collective labor shapes its forms. We long to be creative writers or makers of the revolution, not parasites upon such endeavor (Noyes, Humble Theory”). Dorothy Noyes’ musings on the position folklorists and ethnologists occupy between culture-makers and cultural theorists suggest a kinship and a division between those who make expressive culture and those who study it. Such a division reveals how we are asked to build academic and professional selves by drawing boundaries between our creative practices and our academic pursuits. However, as we begin to explore the hidden processes and unspoken dimensions of academic research, such boundaries become less distinct. In the spirit of curiosity and vulnerability that characterizes art-making, but also much of research, we invite papers that explore the inuence of art-making on the academic process. We hope to investigate the boundaries between the personal and the professional, the amateur and the expert, and the creative and the critical, as we explore the tracks that creative practice leaves upon our academic selves. While rarely voiced within academic discourse, we believe a discussion of our artistic practices can help us better understand the creative dimensions of scholarship, and we explore how art-making might oer new avenues for communicating academic knowledge. We welcome papers from individuals who engage in art-making at any level and in any medium, including creative writing, visual art, movement, music and new media.
Disc07. Tracking changes through creative research methodologies Convenors: Jenni Rinne (University of Helsinki); Jenny Ingridsdotter (Södertörn University); Kim Silow Kallenberg (The Swedish Red Cross University College) Aula 15: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Creativity is an integral part of the ethnographic practice. Conceptions such as thick descriptions and faction suggests that creative approaches are part of a longer tradition that problematize the division between facts and ction, reason and aect, as well as objectivity and subjectivity in ethnographic practice. Alternative methodologies as well as mixed genres and other
154 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels creative approaches, helps us to multiply our views on the world, ourselves as researchers, as well as on our research subjects. For this panel we invite papers that use imaginative and creative methods to ethnographic inquiries as well as to ethnographic writing. This includes using ction as a reective tool as well as a way of transmitting eld experiences. Further, it also includes collaborative, experimental and embodied ways of doing eldwork. Creative methods and genres can be means to highlight social complexities that are excluded or simplied in more traditional scholarly texts and research processes. We would like to discuss methods and concepts such as ethnographic ction, dirty ethnography, ethnographic lm making, the using of drawings and art in ethnographic work, as well as the inspiration one can get from reading ction, listening to music or in other ways being creative in the ethnographic research processes. We suggest that creativity is essential both for gaining knowledge about a eld of research and for communicating research results, both in- and outside of academia, and we encourage contributions from ethnographers who uses experimental methods and research dissemination strategies in their works.
Disc08. Ethnographies revisited: the test of time [P+R] Convenors: Pedro Tomé Martín (CSIC); Maria Cátedra (Universidad Complutense de Madrid); Carmen Lamela (Universidade da Coruña) Aula 31: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
It is a common academic practice in Anthropology, a literary genre, to go over an ethnography written several decades earlier. Still, there are dierent formats of what we might call “ethnographic revisits”. Some are replication studies directed to corroborate the veracity of the initial version, which sometimes results in a erce critique of omitted biases -as in Redeld-Lewis classic controversy around Tepoztlan. In other cases, it is the anthropologist himself who revisits his work and exercises self-criticism or self-praise, confronts his informants’ criticism or, perhaps worse, their enthusiastic endorsement. But the revisiting of places that have been ethnographic sites is also a way to report on the local and global experienced transformations, to recognize what has happened since then, and even to trace the concepts and theories that once seemed appropriate. This panel aims to bring together ethnographic revisits that account for these transformations; revisits that also suppose a narration of the history of the place as object of anthropological observation. Why do they deserve the repeated attention of anthropologists? The analysis of restudied sites tends to be limited to specic regions, but this panel is an opportunity to compare a greater diversity of cases. It also wants to be an occasion to promote ethnographic replications that allow us to move forward collectively. The panel will be complemented by a

Disc09. Comparison as social and cultural practice Convenors: Markus Tauschek (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg); Stefan Groth (University of Zurich) Discussant: Dorothy Noyes (Ohio State University) Aula 31: Mon 15th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Comparisons are everyday practices used to make sense of social roles and encounters, socioeconomic transformation processes and uncertain futures. By comparing oneself with others, practices, statuses and worldviews are put into context and embedded into broader frames of meaning. In times of change and risk, comparisons serve to reduce complexity and oer orientation. Focusing on comparison not as an analytic tool, but as an everyday social and cultural practice, the panel seeks to shed light on subjective perspectives and on what individuals (and groups) do when they compare and how they do it – from subtle to crude forms of comparison; from informal and spontaneous comparisons to institutionalized comparative regimes; from tacit modes of comparing to rened categories and systems of comparison. The panel brings together contributions on comparisons as social and cultural practice from dierent elds, e.g. from the spheres of work life, leisure, politics, art and migration. It asks for the grounding of comparative practices in everyday life, for the role of comparisons in making sense of transformations, for dierent modes, forms, and theorizations of comparison. Contributions can, among other aspects, deal with how comparisons are part of narratives, how they are mediatized in popular culture, and which material, quantitative, symbolic or aective dimensions they have.
Disc10. Peripheral wisdom. Unlearning, not-knowing and ethnographic limits Convenors: Lili Di Puppo (National Research University Higher School of Economics); Francisco Martínez (University of Helsinki); Martin Demant Frederiksen (University of Copenhagen) Aula 31: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
We start from the premise that clarity and xity as ideals of modernity do prevent us from approaching that which cannot be easily captured and framed into scientic boundaries. We reach certain ethnographic limits. We propose not just to move along the boundary between the known and the unknown, but to also remain on it, to stay on the surface and with the in-between. A boundary that is eeting, unxed, vague, more related to a state in which we enter than to a geographical space. We welcome papers that rethink how the unarticulated
156 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels and the edgy can be incorporated into ethnographic research as a generative condition. And in doing so, we argue that peripherality is not only to be seen as a space in the making or as a marginal condition, but rather as a mode of attention and a form of making theory and practice. We thus propose to be attentive to knowledge that is not just conceptual also but attitudinal, one that unfolds or hovers between the actual and the potential (Crapanzano 2004). Hence, we set out to engage with a series of empirical and theoretical issues such as: What is the centre and the periphery of what we do? And what is its surface and core? How to represent the infra-knowledge - what lies beneath the threshold of verbal reasoning, or do not respond to the criteria for widely recognised forms of knowledge? How can we apprehend modes of knowing that open up to an invisible realm (Mittermaier 2017)? Does learning entails unlearning?
Disc12. Being there... and there... and where? Imagining the eld in between [P+R] Convenors: Maren Larsen (University of Basel); Lotte Nielsen (Basel University); Gin-Young Song (University of Zurich) Aula 17: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
The past decades have seen a range of methodological advances that critically reect on the question of where and what the eld of urban anthropology can be. Yet, the implementation of a more relational or comparative perspective in the study of geographically faraway places remains a practical challenge. Firstly, this panel seeks to do to space what Fabian has done to time in anthropological work – to reimagine the distance between “home” and “eld.” While many have been attentive to this problem, we still need to frame a concept that can induce reexivity about the spatiality of the scenario that unfolds “in between eldwork” (in its myriad meanings). Through this panel and roundtable discussion, we are interested in discussing how this in between can be conceptualized and what it does to the anthropologist’s positionality, inter-subjectivity, eld ndings, and understandings of “being there”. Secondly, we seek to expand notions of the anthropologist’s ways of “being there.” Sensitivity to tracking local and global changes should make anthropologists think dierently about their eldwork strategies. Where is the eld when we track it from afar (i.e. through social media), follow informants elsewhere, think the eld through an elsewhere[6], make it home, or when the eld is home? The co-conveners’ own experiences of studying their urban elds from institutions foreign to their own homes have served to inspire this problematization. We invite contributions from researchers who have also reected on or are interested in thinking their eld through these spaces.

Disc13. Tracking the impact of ideologies, agendas, and agency in the processes of producing and representing knowledge of folklore Convenors: Janika Oras (Estonian Literary Museum); Niina Hämäläinen (Finnish Literature Society); Venla Sykäri (Finnish Literature Society) Aula 17: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The work of Elias Lönnrot, the compiler of the Finnish Kalevala, was based on ethnographic eldwork that provided him a thorough knowledge of the singing tradition and methods of versication. Nevertheless, while preparing material for publication, he reorganized it into a logically proceeding network of narratives that never existed in that form in the eld. Alike the Kalevala, folklore publications that shape our understanding of the past are often products transformed by agendas, authority, and authorship, which profoundly dier from those that guided the composition and performance in the face-to- face community. In addition to the obvious problems related to the positivistic epistemology, the eld encounters and collaborations themselves could be loaded with a complex set of distinct goals, agendas and agency. This panel investigates the ways in which knowledge of oral traditions has become accessible for literary audiences and modern research, and how dierent layers of textualization have inuenced our comprehension of folklore. We invite paper proposals that examine the 19th and early 20th century’s ethnographers’ work, manuscripts and publications. Our focus is particularly on transformations visible in texts, deriving from changes in audience and authorship, as well as those located in ethnographic encounters, and deriving from dierent agendas and agency in the interaction.

When queer theorist José Muñoz references hauntology and the ghostly presence of a certain structure of feeling” (2009: 42), he is exploring the ways in which Raymond Williams and Jacques Derrida each theorize on the intersections of art and ethnography. Like with postmodern ethnography, and John Berger’s “ways of seeing”, it is about learning artistic process, of abstract or gurative work, and the rendering of observed, remembered, or imagined
158 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels experiences. Artistic practice has the potential to transform and it frequently parallels various forms of tradition and storytelling, but with a power, freedom, and depth that is elusive to many ethnographers. Be it visual, material, aural, or performative, our case studies will address issues of social justice and transformation, in relation to issues of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and/or economic disparity. We seek contributions from diverse geographic locations, so as to focus on an overarching question of the role of art and artists in contemporary storytelling and ethnography. Our associated roundtable will allow discussion of these connections, while revisiting Gerald Pocius’ 2003 essay on art, and re-examining how art, folklore, and ethnography now work together, 16 years after publication of this key work in folklore theory.
Economy and Work
Looks at economic aspects of transformations, global and local economies, industry, tourism, entrepreneurship, work in change and as generators of change. Econ01. Remembering the factory: industrial pasts and presents Convenors: Reana Senjković Svrčić (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research); Andrew Hodges (Leibniz-Institut für Ost- und Südosteuropaforschung) Aula 2: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
This panel will examine memories of work and contemporary reections on deindustrialization and the proliferation of economic insecurity. Memoryscapes that articulated a longing for a sense of purpose have been reected on from late 1980s onwards. A signicant number of these memories relate to factories that not only provided jobs, but also a sense of security and communality that in some cases extended over generations. What we are witnessing lately are changes caused, presumably, by a certain transformation in memory work, alongside the successful commodication of memories and their use for political purposes. On the other hand, these changes are the result of clash between available and often sharply contradicting competing versions of history that made certain communities even more vulnerable after the 2008 economic crisis. The narrative of a proud worker and the factory (s)he understood in familial terms is being either rened, reshaped, or abandoned, giving way to emerging new personal and communal identities. The primary interest of this panel is in ethnographic and strongly contextualized research on memory practices and contemporary experiences relating to objects of industrial decline, such as factories, collieries and shipyards. The organization of this panel has

Econ02. Fake it till you make it: anthropological explorations of ‘falsity’ in times of rapid social transformation Convenors: Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki (University of Helsinki); Deana Jovanovic Aula 3: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Processes of rapid social transformation, ranging from austerity and privatisation to turmoil and displacement, are often represented in terms of a radical break that distinguishes between past and present. For many people the certainties, assurances, and armations of the past have become unsettled and given rise to experiences of insecurity, precarity, and grievance. This panel hopes to complicate dualist narratives, and to explore the nuances that operate in peoples attempts to align continuity and rupture, presence and absence, that which was and no longer is. To this end, we propose to focus on the multifarious practices that blur boundaries between ‘falsity’ and ‘truth’, and which serve to critique, modify, or subvert the constellations within which they unfold. We understand ‘falsity’ to be an open-ended concept and we approach pretence, deception, camouage, and counterfeit as necessary conditions that make life, ‘things’, social relations, belonging, and hope possible. Moreover, we call attention to practices of faking, pretending, mimicking, simulating, and parodising, and we problematise their (im)moral, (dis)enchanting, aective, paradoxical, and ambivalent implications. Finally, we inquire the fabrication, reproduction, but also subversion of ‘falsity’ and ‘truth’ or ‘reality’, and we attend to the creative labour that goes into their (un)making. We invite papers that engage these questions ethnographically, in relation (but not restricted) to economic crisis and austerity, state restructuring and welfare withdrawal, labour and processes of deregulation, materiality and decay, moral economy and ethics, and temporality and hope.

They range from formal businesses (cooperatives and social enterprises) to informal practices (communitarian practices, self-organised forms), including those that may not be recognised as operating economically at the rst glance, but engage in the critique of the contemporary social organisation or address the politics and ethics of social care, ideas of exchange or sharing, and a redenition of labour, development, community, dignity, and solidarity. The panel addresses those visions of social transformations in the eld of (broadly understood) social economy. A special emphasis may be placed on the conceptualisation of solidarity as an embodied practice in connection with the concepts of integration, trust, and community. It welcomes insights into the social models developed by the practices as well as into the actors’ motivations, visions, expectations, and perceptions of the socio-economic development. Presentations may reveal how the practices have been experienced; what is the relation between aspirations and everyday realities; and how these practices contribute to the changing of the socio-economic systems, values, norms, and people’s experience.
Econ04. Bring back my neighbourhood!: heritage, expressive cultures and the production of urban ambiances for tourist consumption in the contemporary city Convenors: Inigo Sanchez (Universidade Nova de Lisboa); Salwa Castelo- Branco (Universidade Nova de Lisboa); Daniel Malet Calvo (ISCTE-IUL. University Institute of Lisbon) Aula 3: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The interplay of tourism and heritage is a powerful medium aecting cultural change in urban historical centers. The loss of local population, along with traditional modes of social behavior and vernacular cultural practices, or the transformation of historic neighborhoods into thematic parks for tourism consumption are some of the negative consequences of tourism, that, as some authors have noted, are often expressed in the public discourse making reference to the loss of the authenticity and real feel of urban places (Zukin 2010). This panel seeks to analyze the impact of tourism on the urban environment, focusing on the concept of “ambiance” as a tool to explore the physical regeneration and sensory transformation of contemporary touristic places. How does heritage participates in creating particular urban ambiances and places for tourist consumption? How tourism and city development aect the lived ambiances in the urban context? What is the role of heritage and expressive practices in relation to the physical regeneration and marketing of contemporary touristic places? We are inviting scholars from various academic elds to discuss these and other questions, theoretical frameworks

Econ05. Traces of tourism: global changes, local impacts? From sustainability to resilience Convenors: Esteban Ruiz-Ballesteros (Universidad Pablo de Olavide); Helena Ruotsala (University of Turku); Tímea Bata (Museum of Ethnography, Budapest); M. Pilar Espeso-Molinero (Universidad de Alicante); Maija Mäki (University of Turku) Aula 3: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Tourism is an ubiquitous activity on our planet, a paradigmatic expression of the most sophisticated forms of capitalism, one which also serves as an important source of livelihood in small and remote communities. As an economic activity, it possesses an extraordinary capacity for adaptation expressed in its multiple forms of organization; it is also capable of converting any cultural, natural or social element into a mercantile object for tourist consumption. Tourism has however proper Janus-faces; it has its good and bad sides, but how can we avoid the bad sides and take advantage of the good sides? To understand its eects we need analytical approaches that allow us to capture its plasticity and multidimensionality. We propose sustainability, vulnerability and resilience as theoretical and methodological tools to analyze the tourism phenomenon from dierent yet integrated perspectives (socio-ecological resilience, community resilience, cultural heritage and resilience).Our intention is to gain a more complex understanding of the transformation processes produced by the development of tourism under the sustainable paradigm of the triple bottom line. We also propose to discuss the capacity of the resilience framework applied to the tourism industry at a global and, especially, local level. Therefore we are looking for contributions that articulate the macro- and micro-level scales that are present in tourism, presenting case studies that permit trans-cultural comparisons. Through analysis and scientic discussion, we hope to gain insights into the elements and processes that articulate tourism, sustainability and resilience.

Env01. Landscape - the instructions manual: negotiating the meanings of landscape [SIEF Working Group Space-lore and Place-lore] Convenors: Karolina Pauknerova (Charles University); Jiří Woitsch (Czech Academy of Sciences); László Mód (University of Szeged) Aula 19: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
When dening landscape, it is possible to stress its physical features or to deal with it as an ideological project. However, our position is close to John Wylie´s (2005) “entwined materialities and sensibilities”. Starting from this and based on ethnological and anthropological knowledge, the panel addresses how landscapes are transformed, described, introduced or even produced by both ocial authorities and informal actors when presenting the particular landscape to public. We intend to focus especially on current use and transformation of traditional agricultural, natural and urban landscapes into zones of recreational use, tourism and free-time activities. During such a transformation, landscapes and their history, importance, meanings and even materialities are represented in various media (e.g. tourist brochures) and equipped with a specialised infrastructure (e.g. educational trails) in order to give “users” of the landscape a particular type of pre-understanding. In the panel papers deal with transformations of landscapes with the attention paid to the processes of negotiation of their meanings, e.g. in museum exhibitions, educational trails, in various events and new landscapes such as re-cultivated environments or various types of protected landscape areas or natural parks and the like.
Env02. Localizing climate change: global changes - local responses Convenors: Paulo Mendes (CRIA-IUL / UTAD); Thomas Hylland Eriksen (University of Oslo) Aula 19: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Climate change is on the political and media agendas, yet it is still an elusive issue. Owing to its regional variability and varying urgency, it is often perceived either as a local change in weather patterns and/or as global phenomena too large to be localised. Papers on the “ethnographic variability of climate change” are welcome, namely those addressing issues of “crisis” on the dierent regions of the world, relating them to the global picture. Climate change aects people in communities worldwide, but frequently, other understandings are at the forefront locally, such as those related to economy, conict, migration, cultural identity or local environmental problems. They are undoubtedly interconnected and this should be acknowledged, but at the same time, ethnographies on climate

Therefore, we are proposing a panel on how people are responding to climate change, either on notorious “euent locations” (e.g. coal mining, tar sands, large cattle farms, factories), and on recipient locations (e.g. polar regions, Pacic islands, seashores). Papers may focus on political and environmental movements, warfare, refugees, migrations, alternative ways of livelihoods, new economies, or, on the contrary, on the lack of awareness of climate change eects (e.g. ground level ozone on natural parks, methane emissions on articial lakes). Papers may be based on extensive eldwork, but comparative and theoretical contributions are also welcomed.
Env03. Drier worlds - living with water scarcity Convenors: Mireia Campanera (Universitat Rovira i Virgili); Humberto Martins (UTAD/CRIA-UM) Discussant: Paulo Mendes (CRIA-IUL/UTAD) Aula 19: Mon 15th Apr, 16:30-18:15
The world experiments big transformations. Living conditions (not only those available for humans) are changing. Anthropocene is not so much a new geological era but mainly a big challenge for human survival. Anthropology is a eld of knowledge that must be aware of everything that aects human lives and (increasingly) lives of those that share the planet Earth with us. This panel intends to explore ethnographies directly produced to know contexts, lives, and experiences of those who are living or are used to live with water scarcity; but we also invite knowledge produced originally with dierent goals but that can reveal changing environmental conditions. Droughts are a big issue in many places in the world so is potable water scarcity. Meanwhile for water is needed for agroindustries or touristic cities and developments. While new technological solutions are being created by governments and private companies, many individuals and communities face the spectrum of a drier world. This is a complex debate, produced under an environmental anthropology, a political and economic anthropology but also an anthropology that approaches psychological transformations felt by people who perceive and feel that conditions where they normally live are becoming unbearable. A drier world is not an inevitability for everyone everywhere. Again, disparities are felt dierently. So the panel is quite open in its scope – water (less, few or many and more) is the central element and we want to discuss the (creative and transformative) uses of it.

Env04. Changing tracks and tracking changes: the social lives of rivers and canals Convenors: Francesco Visentin (Ca Foscari University of Venice); Maarja Kaaristo (Manchester Metropolitan University) Aula 19: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The panel invites proposals from various disciplines in order to explore rivers and canals as socio-natural hybrids: results of environmental processes, human and non-human agencies, memories, narrations and sensory experiences. We will discuss inland waterways as sites of continuous change, focusing on their social lives and biographies. The life cycles of waterways consist of a combination of stages, including navigation, construction, transport, canalisation, dereliction, demolition, oblivion, redevelopment and regeneration. They are spaces for everyday life and tourism (Kaaristo & Rhoden, 2017), as well as ambivalent sites of converging and contradicting human and non- human agencies. Addressing the hybrid ontologies of the networks of these linear liquid ‘tracks’, we will discuss living on, with and near inland waterways. We understand hybridity as a lack of holistic meta-narratives about waterways, but instead think about them in terms of cultural ecosystems, socio-cultural adaptability and becoming (Vallerani and Visentin, 2018). We welcome papers discussing: oral histories and narrations of waterways; embodied engagement with canals, rivers, towpaths and riverbanks by boating, walking, running, cycling or angling; environmental and industrial heritage; representations of waterways in cultural texts (art, literature, lm, TV, (social) media); waterfront regeneration and its contribution to gentrication or to the community wellbeing; ood events and the everyday discourses of climate change.
Env05. Volatile waters, improvised worlds: hydrosocial transformations and the making of orderly ows [P+R] Convenors: Franz Krause (University of Cologne); Lukas Ley (Heidelberg University) Aula 20: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
We live in a world where change has become the status quo, where uncertainty is the only certainty about the future, and where transformations cannot be expected to proceed linearly. Embedded in social, cultural and economic changes, the climate and the environment are changing, too, uprooting even the supposed solidity of physical existence. One of the key elements in climate change is water, in the forms of thawing ice, increased oods, prolonged droughts, rising seas, or salinized soils. If our world is volatile, then water – and its imbrication in social and cultural life – is an epitome of this volatility. This panel brings together research that scrutinizes the relationships between various
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 165 List of panels forms of water volatilities and human lives. We seek ethnographic accounts that explore how uncertain water uctuations correspond or conict with other sociocultural transformations. Furthermore, we are interested in learning about the cosmological, ritual, legal, infrastructural, habitual and other means by which people turn such volatile social-cum-hydrological dynamics into orderly ows, if only temporally. Finally, we hope to discuss examples that showcase the creative tensions between, on the one hand, grand schemes, plans and mechanisms, and on the other hand, improvisation and ad-hoc solutions, in the way dierent people track, make sense of, and seek to contain such hydrosocial changes. The following roundtable will focus on emerging topics and common questions from the panel, relating them back to the core issues of hydrosocial volatility and ordering.
Env06. When reality challenges our expectations: trajectories and transformations in ethnographic research, conservation and heritage ethnographies Convenors: Amélia Frazão-Moreira (CRIA-NOVA FCSH); Hannah Parathian (Faculdade Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa) Discussant: Humberto Martins (UTAD /CRIA-UM) Aula 20: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Guided by theoretical frameworks and informed by peer-reviewed studies the “well-prepared” researcher heads to the eld, often ill-equipped for the realities that emerge. Textbook theories and value assumptions are challenged when complexity rears its ugly head as a tangible and key component of local realisms and people’s lives. Veritably, the interests of community groups are diverse and variable, contradicting characteristic worldviews and value systems. For example, local people may lead eorts towards the commodication of nature and culture through tourism and trade, while under dierent circumstances indigenous groups grapple to protect their traditional knowledge and cultural heritage. In some communities, conict breaks out over the management of natural resources and wildlife mitigation, challenging the regulations and quotas set by governing authorities. On other occasions, individuals oer their support in favour of the changes brought about in the name of biodiversity conservation and through the creation of protected areas. Such conditions highlight the unpredictability complexity and transient nature of people’s relationships with the environment. These ideas challenge disciplinary conventions and bring into the forefront the need for interdisciplinary knowledge and a mixed-methods approach to research in environmental anthropology. We invite environmental ethnographers to reect on transformations in their own work as a result of their in-depth observations and experiences in the eld. We encourage researchers to present revelations in their research, and to track the development of their

Into a trans-forming world: exploring genders and postgenders [SIEF Working Group on Body, Aects, Senses, and Emotions (BASE)] [P+R] Convenors: Paco Abril (Universidad de Girona/Universitat Oberta de Catalunya); Begonya Enguix (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya) Aula 18: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Many sex-gender categories are now present in social life both as legal possibilities (legislation on gender neutrality in Germany and Australia, for instance) or as a possibility for experience and/or experimentation. For instance, Facebook identies up to 58 categories related to gender. Asexuals and bisexuals have ‘come out’ all over the world, trans (genders/sexuals) seem to be on the spotlight, and people are now self-labelling as demisexual, pangender, agender, gender uid, gender neutral, etc. thus resisting traditional systems of classication but also creating new forms of human categorization of sex- gender experiences. In this panel we would like to explore the congurations of sex-gender categories both through the exploration of ‘traditional’ models of gender and gender relations and through the exploration of ‘emergent’ models of gender and gender relations. We particularly encourage works based on the embeddedness of genders and bodies (embodied genders) and welcome theoretical explorations on what posthumanism and other feminist epistemologies (such as new materialisms) can ‘do’ with and for gender studies and for our understanding of actual sex-gender congurations. Through moving from natural(ized) essences to a non-binary model of knowledge that focuses on relations, connections, systems and assemblages, we can learn and grisp many of the actual congurations that are dicult to frame and understand in more stable and traditional sex-gender models.

Instrumentalization of gender in European neo-national and right wing movements Convenors: Marion Naeser-Lather (University of Marburg); Sabine Hess (Institute for Cultural Anthropology/European Ethnology); Beate Binder (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) Aula 18: Mon 15th Apr, 16:30-18:15
Gender as a concept was initially invented to support emancipatory politics— at least, it seems to have worked this way for a long time. Recently, dierent societal actors and groups make use of, and appropriate, notions of gender in order to bring forward anti-emancipatory, that is nationalist, racist and ostracizing, discursive strategies. For example, migrants as racialized oriental “others” are imagined as threat to “European” women in order to justify and legitimize restrictive migration politics (see Neuhauser/Hess /Schwenken 2016). Moreover, “anti-genderism”, which articulates itself, for example, as criticism against gender studies and gender mainstreaming, seems to serve as symbolic glue” (Kováts/Põim 2015), allowing coalitions between extreme right, religious- fundamentalist and traditionalist groups and parties. In this context, common as well as scholarly gender knowledge (Wetterer 2008) is used as mediator between discourses, (normative) regimes of truth, and (institutionalized) actions and their eects (Neuhauser/Hess /Schwenken 2016). Against this backdrop, we invite panelists to analyze and discuss how gender and gender knowledge is strategically exploited for national and anti-democratic purposes. From an intersectional perspective, we propose to explore in which ways these dynamics contribute to the re-construction of intelligible gendered self-concepts, expanding and/or narrowing down imaginaries of masculinity and femininity as well as sexualities and desires. We invite scholars from all over Europe to contrast and compare local strategies of nationalist, conservative and/or religious fundamentalist politics in which gender and sexuality play a crucial role.

Daily care needs are increasing in aging European societies. In this panel we invite participants to analyse mens involvement in long term care to understand how kinship and gender are performed. Gender and care have long been analysed together. The role of women as caregivers – a role that has been naturalised and contested as part of their gender performance has long been analysed. The role of men as carers has been gaining interest in the last years,
168 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels especially in connection to fatherhood. The intersection of care and kinship has also been subject to study, although to a lesser extent. Sahlins (2013) describes the reciprocity circuit of care among relatives as “mutuality of being”, which generates obligations that are unequally distributed among family members. Kinship is a gendered category, with dierent -and unequal - attributed duties and expectations. Moreover, gender performance must also be interrogated together with kinship roles that vary along the life course and have transformed due to changes in intergenerational relationships and family models. We invite contributors to explore, through ethnographic data, how gender and kinship are performed through the lens of mens implication in care to discuss possible changes in gender/kinship system and performance. Some of the proposed topics are: Kinship and men as caregivers in formal and informal settings; Changes in intergenerational relationships and care; Men as caregivers of dependant adults: husbands, sons, brothers, fathers; Long-term care and new masculinities; Mens narratives of care

This panel examines the process of silencing memories that occurs in periods of social changes, in everyday life and in the production of heritage. Although silence is a constitutive part of remembering, it has not yet been itself the object of extensive ethnological discussions. Silence can be a powerful means of communication, and a way to reach ethnological insights. Our aim is to identify silent memories, but also to reect on their transformations and reasons for silencing. According to Halbwachs, individual memories that do not t into the dominant image of the past are rejected and censured. The silencing of memories is frequent in nationalization processes that produce silenced others in defeated alternative political ideologies, religions, in colonial or other contested pasts, etc. Silence can be a consequence of disciplining memories and traumatic experiences, signaling vulnerability. It can also be a way of rewriting the past by omission and a mechanism of maintaining power in an (unbalanced) relationship: for instance, when keeping secrets from a researcher.

We would like to ask in which ways individuals and groups move from silence to voicing their memories, and vice versa, and what are the eects of those movements? Special attention will be given to silent memories in the frame of the study of migrations. The panel will also focus on monuments and heritage, perceived as material (or intangible) forms of memory that usually sustain the dominant patterns of remembrance. We invite ethnographically grounded and theoretical papers that discuss those processes.

The UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) foresees the participation of non-governmental organisations. In June 2018 SIEF was reaccredited by the General Assembly of States Parties to the Convention. How does this alignment dene or, in turn, complicate our eld? What kind of opportunities does it entail for SIEF? What kind of constraints does it generate? By default, SIEF fosters academic debate on the impact of ICH related and other policies on the ICH safeguarding processes, relying on research work carried out by its members. Many of us are substantially engaged in the critical inquiry of the negotiated or contested heritage claims and of heritage regimes generated with concurrent cultural politics that have profound social as well as economic consequences. At the same time, we disseminate know-how on the documentation and investigation of ICH, provide expertise in community involvement, and partake in discussing ethical issues for ICH safeguarding. In other words, in the process of monitoring of the implementation of the 2003 Convention we simultaneously seek the related forums of networking, of cooperation, of exchange and acquisition of knowledge. We propose a lively debate on the envisioned engagement with UNESCO and the ICH Convention framework as well as the assumed on-going interest in the eect produced. This Roundtable will be open for ‘provocation/presentation’ proposals during the call for papers.

170 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels
The trend of Caminoised pilgrimage has reached Northern Europe, even in places where the very idea of ‘going on a pilgrimage’ had to be reintroduced from scratch. New and refurbished pilgrimage sites and routes have now become loci for the performance and negotiation of a variety of identities and practices, many of which transcend conventional confessional, ethnic or national divides. Providing new cultural foci and the potential for economic regeneration, these pilgrim paths are putting places back on the map, and becoming signicant as ‘loose spaces’ in which a plurality of actors engage with multi- layered heritage: local traditions and stories are revived, made visible and linked to European narrative cultures; old religious practices are given contemporary meanings; the history of transnational routes is revived and connected to a multitude of agendas. New pilgrimage is seen as having potential for integration as well as contestation. The appeal of ‘routes with roots’ appears immense. The panel will examine recently refurbished and newly congured pilgrimage routes in Northern Europe and the ways in which they frame the practice of pilgrimage as cultural heritage. The papers will explore the dynamics of the trend towards heritagisation of religion and the instrumentalisation of pilgrimage visible in these developments, analysing impacts on local, national and religious identities and praxis.

Whether it concerns debates on national identity, the role of religion in the West’, or the capacity of newcomers to ‘integrate’ into a culture, heritage is frequently invoked as an unassailable core and sacred expression of collective identity. Signicantly, those who belong are expected not only to respect rights and duties, but to feel an authentic connection and commitment to the heritage collective. Processes of heritagization and sacralisation are thus involved in some of the most profound transformations in today’s world. Appeals to heritage and notions of identity often evoke intense emotions, contestations and mechanisms of in- and exclusion. We are interested in the new and diverse trajectories that shape heritage and the cultural politics of emotion in the twenty- rst century. In light of this rapidly changing and contested eld the ethnographic approach is perfectly suited to unpack and map the intricate ways in which heritage is taken up in practices of identity formation. Such an approach enables us to investigate in detail the question of when and how heritage becomes valued and experienced as sacred. We specically invite contributions that

During the 20th century, the borderlands of Europe had been exposed to dramatic political, economic and social changes that have determined everyday life of local communities in countless ways. Border regimes have varied widely, ranging from the virtually impenetrable Iron Curtain that separated East from West to the open borders of the Schengen Area within the European Union. The beginning of the 21st century brought with it the formation of a signicantly expanded European Union, which has almost 40 internal land borders that are home to virtually one third of its population. Borders between formerly divided regions in Europe have become more open than ever before. Marginal communities along these frontiers have adapted to these new circumstances in dierent ways. Forgotten borderlands are often considered idyllic landscapes with rich cultural history and high level of biodiversity. Even borders themselves have been recast as sites of heritage, providing opportunities for cross-border initiatives and cooperation. We invite panel papers that focus on the mutually constitutive relationship between border changes and heritage processes from diverse perspective and at dierent scales, from the local to the transnational. We wish to discuss how border regions provide excellent opportunities for studying the relationship between the natural and cultural heritage, production, promotion, management and preservation of heritage, the role of nationalism and the use of history in the construction of heritage or cross-border heritagization projects.

172 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels discuss the divergences, connections and interactions between these elds, exploring theoretical and methodological issues that may be relevant for both contemporary anthropological and folklore debates. Conuences between heritage studies and audiovisual production are multiple and complex. Heritage can be variously “expressed” through visual techniques: the role of audiovisual production should not just be conceived as a means of expression, but can also provide an opportunity to reect and theorize, to problematize heritage realities, and to represent alternative understandings of heritage, questioning its past orientation through the audiovisual potentiality to express new realities in a future-oriented manner. We are seeking paper presentations tacking down this conuence and addressing the following questions and issues to be addressed: How are heritage processes constituted through images and how them in turn aect heritage? Are there ways to problematize heritage processes through audiovisual means? How can audiovisuals represent folkloric cultures and processes without reifying them into forms of heritage? How are heritage policies aected by cultural images? How does heritage work as a producer of images? How can the eld of heritage studies be reect upon the production and exploration of audiovisual techniques and methodologies? How can audiovisual production express heritage?

The re-guration of space (Knoblauch/Löw 2017) through the development of infrastructural systems is one of the megatrends that have been shaping the world in the recent decades. This improvement and expansion of infrastructures of communication and transport has enabled and sometimes requires – new practices, mobilities, subjectivities, as well as new forms of social interaction. Translocality (Greiner/Sakdapolrak 2013) is a key characteristic of these changes. This panel will explore the intersecting of translocality and im/material infrastructures in everyday life. Following Easterling, we understand infrastructures as interfaces connecting places, people, and practices (2015: 68). We want to reect on people’s interactions with them, among which are material structures like streets, railways, and other parts of
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 173 List of panels the built environment, but also less visible but nonetheless important facets of infrastructure like navigation technologies or communication software. Literature exists on the relationship between infrastructure and people’s social interactions, struggles, and livelihoods (Angelo/Hentschel 2015; Graham/McFarlane 2014), on how infrastructural standards shape the built environment (Easterling 2014), and on how to study infrastructure ethnographically (Star 1999). We welcome contributions that build on these approaches and explore connections between infrastructure and translocality, like papers on: their roles in the development of new subjectivities; how translocal everyday practices are enabled or hampered by infrastructures and the conicts arising in these contexts; the reinterpretation of infrastructures intended use in everyday life; translocal processes of the (social) production of infrastructures;and other papers on everyday practices mirroring grander socio-economic transformations that are mediated by infrastructures.
Life02. Listening to houses. Tracking politics, poetics and practices of being at home in the contemporary world Convenors: Paolo Grassi (University of Padova); Giacomo Pozzi (Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca) Aula 28: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Carsten recently argued that anthropology should be more engaged in “listening” to homes, not considering them just as objects, but as “interconnections between individual trajectories, kinship and the state” (Carsten 2018: 103). Taking into account Carsten’s call, we state that politics, poetics and practices of dwelling represent a privileged standpoint for uncovering how contemporary transformations are materialized, embodied and felt in everyday life. Anthropology has interpreted houses, on one side, as complex results of societal dynamics. On the other side, houses have been seen as active loci that promote changes in society. Without falling into determinism, we want to explore how societal transformations inuence perceptions, praxes and ideas of house and, dialectically, how certain perceptions, praxes and ideas of house can retroact on those same dimensions. These dialectical dimensions invite to consider houses as part of a wider process, that we could dened as “being at home”. Many factors promote the theoretical necessity of interpreting dierent “being(s) at home”: transnational migrations, social media, economic crises, wild urbanization, touristication, represent some of the phenomena that are changing the experience of dwelling. In this panel, we are interested in tracking social changes in a global perspective from the peculiar point of view of houses. We are interested in papers that ethnographically explore the relationship between houses and everyday practices, between the broader “built environments” and their social contexts. In particular, we are interested in

Life03. Practising time - temporalities of everyday life Convenors: Tine Damsholt (Copenhagen University); Owe Ronström (Ethnology) Aula 26: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Time is practised in timing various events and (track) changes in life, and in juggling competing activities in everyday life (e.g. work-life balance). Time comes in, and is practised in many forms: Personal time, family time and historical time (Hareven 1977), chronological, linear time and experienced, cyclic time (Frykman & Löfgren 1979), or in sacred and secular time. Within historiography multiple temporalities have been identied (e.g. Koselleck 1979, Eriksen 2007) that can be employed simultaneously (Jordheim 2012). Heterotopias, such as museums and gardens, involve a plurality of temporalities; heterochronias (Foucault 1984). This session is an invitation to deploy a multiple and complex understanding of temporality in the study of everyday practices. How are multiple yet simultaneous temporalities practiced and negotiated, such as oine and online time, or ‘children’s time’ clashing with ‘adult time’ or experienced time with clock time (cf. Thompson 1967)? Specic temporalities may be materialized when visiting the summer cottage or going to remote places ‘out-of-time’ (cf. Fabian 1983). Also, family time and ‘me-time’ may be entangled with certain rooms e.g. living room, bathroom or a room of one’s own. Mundane track changes such as taking a break may be investigated as the practice of multiple temporalities involving plural routines and tacit bodily knowledge; just as getting the rst child, moving in together or life crisis may result in new routines and temporal choreographies (cf. Ehn and Löfgren 2010). We invite papers on the multiple practising of time in everyday life.
Life04. On/o track: transformative powers of vehicles and transport infrastructures Convenors: Tatiana Argounova-Low (University of Aberdeen); Patrick Laviolette (Tallinn University/UCL) Aula 28: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
“Chthonic ones are not safe; they have no truck with ideologues; they belong to no one; they writhe and luxuriate in manifold forms and manifold names in all the airs, waters, and places of earth” (Donna Haraway 2016: 2).We invite papers focussing on the infrastructural connections and transformations that passageways of all sorts (trails, shipping lanes, road networks, ight paths) have on the world inhabited by human and non-human animals. Presentations
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 175 List of panels demonstrating the transformative power of travel connections are most welcome; as are those that question how such connections create innovative engagements, thus playing a part in producing new cultural, socio-political, economic and environmental impacts. We would particularly like to hear about the transformative potentialities of vehicles and the surrounding systems of auto- mobility that support our love/hate, or our ambivalence/indierence, for roads and cars. In addressing the amorphous nexus of ties that exist between vehicles and infrastructure, as well as the social lives, cultures and lived environments of hyper-mobility, or everyday micro-journeys, we hope the panel will provide some cross-cultural histories for how tracks change. Looking forward too, the panel shall equally try to gain a vantage point for a broad perspective on our long- term relationship with transport infrastructures, helping to assess their impact upon both the built environment and the planet’s ecosystems. We approach such themes broadly, following various manifestations of the ‘Chthulu’ and the AnthrObscene, as antidotes to the human centredness of thinking along the more banal/simplistic lines of the ‘anthropocene’.
Life05. Do-it-yourself in the transforming world: practices, eects, materialities Convenors: Petr Gibas (Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences); Karel ima (Charles University) Aula 25: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Modern do-it-yourself (DIY) has a long tradition across Europe linked to wartime shortages and post-war recoveries in both capitalist and socialist countries of the second half of the 20th century. With the fall of socialism in the latter and a proliferation of consumer culture of late capitalism in both, DIY has become strongly embedded in the economy of consumerism as well as in countercultural environments. This panel aims at tracking changes to DIY and exploring the ways in which wider societal transformations reect and are reected in the transformations of DIY. The panel seeks empirical and/or theoretical papers exploring DIY in historical, ethnographical, anthropological and other related perspectives with particular emphasis on practices (and their wider socio- cultural, economic and political contexts), materialities of DIY production (DIY as bricolage, similarities and dierences of DIY products over time and across contexts) as well as eects of DIY production (emotional, aesthetical as well as on identity building and memory formation). The panel is interested in but not limited to issues such as changing relationship between DIY and consumerism, post-socialist transformations of DIY cultures, changes to DIY as a countercultural practice, tensions between DIY as an economically necessary practice and a consumerist leisure activity, DIY as a (trans)formative practise, DIY and bricolage and similar issues.

Life06. Tracking the ordinary Convenors: Fredrik Nilsson (Åbo Akademi University); Lars-Eric Jönsson (Lund University) Aula 26: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
In her recently published novel – The Son of Svea – the Swedish author Lena Andersson starts with a scene where one of the main characters, Ragnar, is interviewed by an ethnologist who is about to investigate the history of the Swedish welfare state, known as “Folkhemmet”. Ragnar is asked about his everyday routines, not the least his very regular coee drinking habits, but the ethnologist nds him to common and decides to exclude him from the project. We were somewhat disturbed by the fact that ethnology, which is supposed to be tracking the common, ordinary everyday life, was used to illustrate how cultural sciences distance themselves from the ordinary everyday life. Reading the novel we got a feeling of uneasiness; had ethnologists poured the common, ordinary everyday life into an indenite pond of consensus?; had these concepts become almost so common or familiar that we forget to reect upon them?; are we not trying to track the ordinary? We invite colleagues to a panel that will focus on concepts such as common, ordinary and everyday life; how, when and where are they used?; to what extent are they (merely) important performative acts that identify and legitimize ethnology as a discipline?; what happens as these concepts are applied in our research?; how can they be used as analytical tools as we dene or track what is “out there”?; what happens, if something is deemed not common at all, or as in the novel above, too common?
Life07. (Trans)national in vernacular mnemonic practices Convenors: Ulla Savolainen (University of Helsinki); Kirsi Laurén (University of Eastern Finland); Tuulikki Kurki (University of Eastern Finland) Aula 26: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Memory plays a crucially important role in identity processes of both individuals and communities. Selection, cultivation, manipulation, and presentation of ingredients of relevant past through various mnemonic practices participate in making of the present and the future. In the modern period, one of the most signicant and self-evident frameworks for mnemonic practices and identity formations has been the ‘national’. Through practices more often naturalized than not, individuals and communities including scholarly ones have built their understanding of the past on the basis of the image of nation as territorially, ethnically, and culturally bounded entity. However, since the 1980s, questioning of the self-evidence of national frames has become the new norm, at least among the Westernized academia. Indeed, new communication technologies and global capitalism has made the national framework in many
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 177 List of panels ways redundant, whereas large-scale migration, both voluntary and forced, have questioned its entitlement and naturalness. In addition to the ‘national’, also the ‘transnational’ has since become a target of deconstruction. The aim of this panel is to take one step back and focus on the transformations and dynamics between the ‘national’ and the ‘transnational’ in various vernacular mnemonic practices (verbal, material, and performative). The panel investigates various roles and manifestations of the ‘national’ in trans- or extra-national settings, which arise from mobility of people, objects, and art, and from new technology enabling transnational communication and way of life. By focusing on the transformations of the national, the panel tracks changes in vernacular mnemonic practices in transnational contexts.
Life08. The unnoticed. Everyday life, materiality and the musealization of changes Convenors: Louise Karlskov Skyggebjerg (Technical University of Denmark); Mette Tapdrup Mortensen (Greve Museum) Aula 28: Tue 16th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Objects play a central part in our daily lives. But many of them are hardly ever noticed. Even though we often use them on a daily basis, we might not think of these thousands of everyday objects as parts of cultural practices. As something conveying insight into the multitude of relations between individuals and materiality and into the change of the everyday. Museums and other institutions with collections have been working with everyday life for decades. But the challenge remain; how do we handle the changes and materiality of the quotidian in the context of collections? How do we track the often unnoticed changes in the seemingly stable objects around us? And in our relations with them? With an outset in papers that focus on everyday life, changes and materiality we will discuss questions like: How do cultural institutions with collections represent, track and reect often unnoticed transformations? How do we track relations between individuals and materiality? How can we make collection and dissemination strategies that dont favour symbolic and canonized objects over the quotidian and mass produced, the cheap and the short lived like toothbrushes, power outlets, and kitchen rolls? Or over the more long lived but still overlooked like parking spaces, the local DIY centre, and the bus stop?

Medi01. Changing moralities and practices of healthy eating Convenors: Justyna Straczuk (Polish Academy of Science); Ewa Kopczynska (Jagiellonian University) Aula 4: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The link between health and proper nutrition has always been an integral part of various medical systems. However, a healthy diet is denitely more than just a physiological relationship between food and body. Since ancient times, diet has been an important element of various moralities and philosophies of life, binding individual bodies to changing social norms, institutions, power relations and politics. Being a nexus of material and normative, healthy diets were always framed within various discourses and in dierent cultural locations and performed as part of social positions, statuses, gender roles etc. The principles of healthy dieting and the contexts they were put into also transformed. Nowadays, healthy eating seems to focus on the issues of food-related fears and on individual responsibility for avoiding risk. They are also strongly associated with the maintenance of t bodies and the social stigmatization of people with dierent body sizes. They also interfere with the cultural codication of care and responsibility for the well-being of the family as women’s work. The changing social concepts of healthy food are shaping heterogenous policies, economies and institutions in various ways. They are both implemented and challenged, negotiated and rejected. Despite their initial unifying and disciplining ambitions, the concepts of a healthy diet can proliferate and stimulate various ideologies and lifestyles. They are eective tools of social and cultural transformations. We look forward to empirically-grounded papers on changing cultural meanings of healthy eating, addressing the above issues, although not necessarily limited to them.

The medical landscape is a constantly changing eld, both in relation to new knowledge and innovative technology as well as a changing world. Some examples are new emerging diseases and changing welfare societies. In ethnological and folkloric research there is a long tradition of exploring and reecting upon this kind of issues from a broad variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives. These include, but are note limited to: cultural beliefs around long-term illness, explanations of health and healing, the ways in which society’s controlling mechanisms work across bodies, and how modern
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 179 List of panels biomedicine and digitalization provides new cultural perspectives. In this session we are interested in papers that present ongoing research based on the medical eld in the broadest sense. These may be empirically grounded papers, or more theoretical and methodological reections. Participants will discuss questions such as: In what empirical elds are we working? What methodological or theoretical track changes shall we do to explore additional elds and expand our research? What role does ethnological and folkloristic research play in the emerging eld of medical humanities? Central is also: How can we work with/ within healthcare and how can we expand this work? How do we participate in interdisciplinary research? What are good examples of more integrative humanities? Through the session, we wish to make visible and strengthen the ethnological and folkloristic research in an international context dealing with health and medicine, and to create a stronger network of researchers in the transforming research eld of medical humanities.
Medi03. ‘Healing’ as harmonization of ‘micro’ and ‘macro’ cosmos? Conceptualizations and practices of ‘health’ and ‘healing’ in Europe and beyond Convenors: Anna Zadrozna (University of Graz/University of Oslo); Reda Satuniene (Siauliai University) Aula 6: Mon 15th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
‘Health’, ‘wellness’, as well as ‘sickness’, ‘illness’ or ‘disease’ can be understood not only as optimum functioning of the physical body, but also felt as an psycho-somatic, spiritual state. The latter implies a wide range of subjective understandings of sickness and health, and consequent choices of healing practices. It can be argued that ‘wellness’ (and its synonym – ‘healthy’) as a concept implies the sense of ‘being whole’, in a harmony between the inner and the outer, the micro and the macroworlds and environments. Current understandings of healing strategies shift from the ‚healing of myself’ towards ‘the healing of the Planet’, and vice versa. Becoming healthier can be seen as an individual practice, but also as form of activism, where bonding exists between an individual, and the world. In what contexts do healing strategies and practices adhere to dominant culture, and when do they carry a character of ‘alternative’, ‘fringe’? What kind of knowledge, values, beliefs, and traditions are beyond healing practices? What cultural contexts do they come from or adhere to? We invite papers that explore various conventional, non-conventional, alternative, traditional, folk, new-age, religious or secular understandings and practices of ‘health’, and ‘healing’. We welcome studies that trace changes, transformations and continuities, new fashions, invented traditions, imaginaries and images of ‘health’, and ‘healing’ in Europe and beyond. This includes (but not limits to): spiritual and ecological movements, New-Age, virtual communities,

Medi04. Techniques of transformation, healing movements, and medicine worlds Convenors: Nasima Selim (Freie Universität Berlin); Robert Logan Sparks (Long Island University) Aula 5: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The panel seeks to explore the techniques and technologies (of self and society) that connect medicine and religion in a transforming world. We are looking for papers that examine the discursive articulations and practical enactments of transformation in/across medicine worlds and healing movements with ethnographic examples. What are the techniques and technologies of self and social transformation that conate the boundaries of medicine and religion? How are the intimate/private and the social/public spheres bound together in the work of transformation? How does the aective labor of mobilizing these techniques/ technologies limit or open up possibilities of transformation? What kinds of secular or post-secular politics do these (healing) movements and medicine- worlds set in motion with the mobilization of such techniques/technologies? The papers should address one or more of these questions but are not limited by them. Case-studies of techniques and technologies of transformation drawn from alternative and complementary medicine, religious/spiritual healing practices, and biomedicine are welcome.
Migration and Borders
The challenges and dreams of refugees and minority groups as well as the politics and economics of migration, borders as contested spaces. Mig01. Change and challenge: practices and forms of (non-) belonging Convenors: Pihla Maria Siim (University of Tartu); Elo-Hanna Seljamaa (University of Tartu); Dominika Czarnecka (Polish Academy of Sciences); Olga Davydova-Minguet (University of Eastern Finland); Anastasiya Astapova (University of Tartu) Aula 11: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
After a period of seeming de-bordering in the 1990s, Europe is undergoing a process of re-bordering. In many other parts of the world, too, state borders have become increasingly de-territorialised and virtualised, monitored with advanced technologies, while the thought of border as an impenetrable
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 181 List of panels physical wall has grown more appealing. This is happening as more and more people choose or are forced to move and to divide their lives between multiple places. Hardly ever a straightforward matter, (non-)belonging has become an increasingly dicult condition and phenomenon to pin down. Even in the absence of legal problems or blatant hostility, the feeling of being at home does not necessarily go hand in hand with the feeling of being welcomed, understood, and secure.This panel aims to trace frictions between belonging and non- belonging as they are lived by individuals and groups in transnational and translocal settings. Approaching belonging and non-belonging as intertwined relational, material, embodied, and gendered processes, we invite contributions on practices and expressive forms whereby borders of belonging are invoked, dealt with, budged and possibly transformed in the ow of daily life and communication. Also of interest are explorations of emergent intersections of ethnicity, citizenship, gender, race, class and other categories of (non-)belonging as well as debates over political, social, and cultural arenas in which denitions, forms and experiences of (non-)belonging are asserted and contested. By exploring these issues, this panel also aims to track changes – or needs for changes – in ethnological and folkloristic thinking about identity.
Mig02. From welcome culture to the politics of refusal. Mobilization and political transformation after the 2015 migratory movements Convenors: Marie Sandberg (University of Copenhagen); Alexandra Schwell (LMU Munich); Ove Sutter (University of Bonn) Aula 12: Mon 15th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
In the aftermath of the migratory movements in 2015, various civic mobilizations have considerably changed European political landscapes. A plethora of responses by European citizens has mushroomed, either organized in cooperation with refugee organisations and NGOs or in the shape of informal initiatives. Within media and political discourse, such initiatives were labelled the new “Welcome Culture”. At the same time, refugees and migrants are met with moral panics, violence, and discrimination throughout Europe. Right- wing populism is on the rise, strengthening anti-immigrant sentiments and stereotypes. Institutionalized forms of political negotiation and decision-making appear to be contested by new and conicting forms of civic mobilization. We invite contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics: How can ethnology and cultural anthropology contribute to an understanding of contentious dynamics of political mobilisation following the migratory movements of 2015? How do we as researchers navigate in a eld of mobilizations that is characterized by great disparities? Which topoi do we, or can we explore, and which tropes can help in building new insights? Do we need new concepts and
182 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels terminologies to understand these dierent mobilizations? To what extent can a transnational look beyond Europe help understand the contentious cultural and political dynamics of “Welcome Culture” and right-wing populism? In what way are the usual divisions between researchers and interlocutors, refugees and volunteers, guests and hosts, academic and humanitarian interventions, subject to change in the light of contentious civic mobilizations?
Mig03. Transnationalism, (im)mobilities and informal practices in Europe, and beyond [SIEF Working Group on Migration and Mobility] Convenors: Ignacio Fradejas-García (Autonomous University of Barcelona); Abel Polese (Dublin City University, School of Law & Government)) Discussant: Hugo Valenzuela García (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona) Aula 12: Tue 16th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Work or family-related mobilities have been strongly fostered, at least within Europe, by the process of European integration. Indeed, according to Eurostat (2018) there are 19,3 million of EU citizens residing in a country dierent from the one they were born in. Whilst in the case of highly-qualied labour mobility is dealt with relatively little complications and minimal bureaucracy, a great majority of transnational activities, connections, linkages, positions and belongings across national borders (Dahinden 2017) generated a higher informality, here dened as activities that happen outside the controlling, or coercing, presence of one or more states, or their institutions. However, whilst there is a good body of literature on migration-related issues, mobility −broadly conceived− has been relatively understudied. Within this context of increased mobility (within Europe but also to and from Europe), even a fairly well regulated framework as the EU one is likely to unveil inequality, or at least social, or economic, unevenness (Glick-Schiller and Salazar, 2013). Informality may be regarded as a mechanism limiting or reversing the situation, enabling access to services, capital and opportunities for people who are formally excluded for a variety of reasons. We thus welcome contributions that can provide further empirical evidence on the existence, performance and persistence of informal practices, and/or explore the relationship between mobility and informal practices. Topics may include (non-exhaustive): Economy, employment, labour; Business practices; Religious practices; Legal issues; Medical service and provision; Care and education; Social, economic or cultural integration

Mig04. “Let’s talk about culture again!” Re-imagining culture in the processes of mobility and settling down Convenors: Judith Albrecht (Freie Universität Berlin); Lisette Winkler (EHESS) Aula 11: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The trope “culture” has escaped from anthropology to the public realm. While anthropologists have shifted from the central concept of culture toward more sophisticated and dierentiated concepts (e.g. transcultural and transnational studies, where concepts of identities are based on ideas of exchange, contact and negotiation) culture has become a strong popular labelling (in politics, media, education) to distinguish cultural identity and dierence. Culturalising and Stereotyping the other (whoever that other is in a certain context) has taken a sinister turn in the current political climate in Europe and North America and is currently pushed forward through the ideology of right-wing populism. Whom do we consider as part of the collective “we”? Whom do we consider the other? What do human beings share inside, across, and beyond cultures? These are still existential questions emerging from the present with serious consequences for the future. We are looking for papers on mobility and the process of settling down, which critically reect on the question, how are the English term culture and its variants in European languages mobilized in practices outside of academia?How can anthropological discourses re-connect critically with the public discourse of culture?We are looking for ethnographic insights from Europe and North America, as well as from places and regions where the notions of “culture” have similarly escaped from the anthropological (or any other) discourse to the public arena, albeit with dierent terms, language communities, genealogies, practices, and politics.
Mig05. Permanent cities, transient states: housing refugees in urban centers Convenors: Kivanc Kilinc (American University of Beirut); Mohammad Gharipour (Morgan State University) Aula 11: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45
Ongoing wars and political turmoil across the globe have caused millions of people to take refuge in neighboring countries or travel long distances to safer areas. Most of the refugee camps continue to accommodate millions of people cramped in tiny shelters and keep growing both in size and population. While some of the older camps eventually became permanent residential areas and were absorbed into traditional urban settlements, increasingly more refugees have been relocated in existing city centers (i.e., in poor quality hotels, unused public buildings, and peripheral neighborhoods) without having access to basic amenities. Such recent developments have shifted the focus away from isolated
184 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels camp settlements and made the refugee crisis primarily an urban problem, whereas the issues concerning the integration of new communities into existing cities have remained largely unaddressed. This panel seeks proposals that analyze how various refugee populations, regardless of their location, have adapted to, personalized and transformed the use of existing, “permanent” structures, while in transit from camps to urban centers. The papers may also explore: the conceptualization of new building types that go beyond the typically narrow denition of the tent and the container; the development of public art projects for the integration of refugee communities in urban contexts; the relationship between existing urban neighborhoods and new refugee settlements; and cross-cultural collaborations which have informed the design of refugee settlements with higher public health and safety standards. We welcome proposals that deploy chronologically diverse, methodically nuanced, interdisciplinary, and comparative approaches.
Mig06. Embodying social and political transformations in borderlands: anthropological analyses Convenors: Anna Fedele (CRIA, University Institute of Lisbon); Elisabeth Tauber (Free University Bolzano) Aula 12: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
This panel aims to explore the ways in which social and political transformation is embodied through cultural practices, norms and rituals in borderlands, in geographical areas where ethnic groups share similar historical experiences, ecological areas and cultural habits but have been divided into dierent nations as a consequence of wars, environmental catastrophes or other less dramatic geopolitical readjustments. How do these borderland communities deal with current transformations linked to global phenomena such as migration, ecological changes, shifts in gender roles? How do they mark these changes ritually and how do they adapt their social norms? We are particularly interested in ethnographically grounded papers that explore these issues focusing on how social and political changes are embodied in the following contexts:Bounded spaces and its transformations (e.g. new infrastructural frames, transit and transport possibilities); Transgression and crossing of borders; Ecological changes and the return of wilderness (e.g. ecological catastrophes, reintroduction of animal species, establishment of ecologically protected areas etc.); Relationship to borderlands of humans and non-humans; Ways of framing migration processes; Embodied bordering related to ethnic dierence; Encounters with what is perceived or constructed as “otherness”; Changing gender identities and gendered emancipation movements; Experiences of liminality and rituals related to them; Pilgrimages and religious processions; Institutional rules on borders and local power relations

At the SIEF-congress in Göttingen there has been a call for establishing a new SIEF-Workinggroup on Narratives, which showed a good number of scholars, who are interested in the topic. From there came a smaller group to organize the upcoming activities for the founding, and in the end to suggest a mission statement. We had some good scholarly exchange, but agreed to discuss the topics and contents of the workinggroup at the upcoming SIEF-Congress in Santiago de Compostella 2019. Among others we suggest to use a broader term of narratives, which allows to implement also i.e. exhibitions, rituals, constructions of heritage or popular media. We probably go together, when we say that narratives are a crucial part of everyday’s world and we “think and communicate in narratives”. We can also think about narratives “as a mode of construction, understanding – and appropriation – of the world” or to “think the world in narratives”. Based on ideas like these, in this panel we want to discuss together the future programme and the mission statement for the Workinggroup on Narratives. So we ask for (really) short programmatic papers and conceptual ideas as kick-o speeches to fuel the discussion. In the end we want to approve the mission statement to pursue the founding.

Suárez): Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Changing means that some new elements enter the system, but it also raises the question of what elements have been discarded? Texts can be crossed out, overwritten, tossed into a dustbin, hidden under the bed or in the attic; texts produced by certain people, communities or institutions can stay unnoticed and marginalized. This can happen due to political, aesthetic, or many other
186 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels reasons. But in the same vein texts can (re)emerge out of oblivion and become fully (re)embedded into culture; sometimes this re-emerging is imaginary a totally new text is introduced as long-lost and accidentally found one. We invite participants of this panel to think about those discarded and marginalized (or newly found and (re)embedded) elements of culture and how they act as agents of change. We welcome case studies connected to dierent eras and geographical areas. We invite papers that explore some of the following (or other connected) questions: mechanisms and functions of marginalization and (re)embedding; marginalization from above (political censorship), and on the personal level (self-censorship); vernacular literacy usages of literacy that to not conform to the dominant ways; retrospective reassessment of those texts – do they tell something new about their era, authors etc; marginalization or (re) embedding as the agents of change
Nar03. To narrate narrators: a making of Convenors: Livia Jimenez Sedano (Universidade Nova de Lisboa); Francisco Cruces Villalobos (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia) Aula 6: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Trivial, funny, nostalgic, lthy, common stories… The everyday is built up by storytelling. When we routinely comment on our deeds, events and aections, we weave a storyline of some sort about the Self, the We and the Others. Conversely, ethnographies, documentaries and museum collections can be seen as narratives which select, edit and connect these fragments taken from daily life, in such a way that they compose an eloquent whole. How to narrate the narrators? This panel invites reection on the transition from micro-stories to macro-narratives, bringing these two (qualitatively uneven) levels of narrative articulation together: (a) the poetics implicit in daily life micro-stories -with its objects, practices and locations; (b) the textualizing operations deployed in their mise-en-scène by cultural disciplines, in the genres of documentary lm, written monography, ethnographic exhibition and live performance. How did I work from others’ stories in order to construct a convincing cultural plot of my own? What strategies did I follow to elicit / select / assemble raw materials? From where did I get inspiration for an overarching script? Does it possesses poetic beauty, or logic, or morals? We call for good cases in everyday storytelling as much as for courageous exercises in epistemic striptease. Accounts in several formats (visual, textual, collections, performances) and contents (practices, objects and locations as well as discourse) are welcome. Contributors should ideally (a) present examples of research material in the form of stories, short videos, etc.; (b) analytically dissect his/her own work process.

Nar04. Stories at work, working with stories Convenors: Alf Arvidsson (Umeå University); Line Esborg (University of Oslo) Aula 8 (Andrés S. Suárez): Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The narrative turn in public life, mass media and social sciences has resulted in a broad variety of storytelling projects, public programs, courses, festivals etcetera, often motivated with reference to inclusion, democratization, self- presentation, personal and collective development and empowerment, This can mean new opportunities, new applications and new challenges to ethnology and folklore studies, disciplines where listening to stories being told and discussing the meanings and social eects of storytelling have de facto been intrinsic from the start, whether narratives have been the pronounced study object or not. Our skills and knowledge of ethnographic eldwork, traditional narrative practices, collective symbols and cultural analysis are strong resources but what happens in meetings in new contexts? What are the implications for methodology, pedagogy, positioning in society, and the reproduction of academic professionality, when new forms of dialogue and de-centered research change the patterns of interaction with the public? We welcome abstracts dealing with topics such as but not restricted to: storytelling as documentation, exhibition and dialogue strategies of museums; intangible cultural heritage work as a production of narratives; biographical storytelling projects; storytelling in refugee integration projects; the presence of voices of indigenous peoples in storytelling projects; emancipatory writing/storytelling courses; narrative strategies in identity politics within and without academic frameworks.
Nar05. Orality in writing. Tracking changes on transforming traditions Convenors: Anamaria Iuga (National Museum of the Romanian Peasant); Inis Shkreli (Mediterranean University of Tirana); Corina Iosif (National Museum of the Romanian Peasant) Aula 7: Tue 16th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Although frequently the methodology of ethnological research (of both collecting and interpreting eldwork “data” still refers, mostly without any precautions, to “traditional” local cultures as being constantly oral, what nowadays we call “traditional” is obviously a result of the combination of oral and writing. Contemporary local cultures, generically called “traditional” have their own dynamic, inuenced both by globalization, and locality (Appadurai). In this dynamic, an important role is played by the relation between the written and unwritten, as two sides of the same local culture. In addition to the transmission and reproduction of local cultures according to the mechanisms of oral memory, frequently oral narratives, reied through written form, are re-integrated and
188 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels re-interpreted in the oral dimension of the same community. Researches investigating the relationship between “traditionality/oral” and “textuality” focus on the linguistic aspects (J.M. Foley) and on the dynamic of the written/oral memory in the processes of transmission and reproduction of local cultures (J. Goody). These researches lead the present theoretical frame to epistemological, and, last but not least, methodological transformations. The current panel seeks: 1. to investigate the complex relationship between written and unwritten (Atkinson 1990) in producing meanings of tradition in the dierent contexts of change (post communism, or post-colonialism, migration, use of information technology); 2. to investigate the methodological aspects of the ethnological approach related to this topic. We seek to emphasise such changes, based on the experience of the social sciences researchers, pointing out the methodological challenges in collecting and interpreting data.
Politics and Social Movements
Transformations present in contemporary human activism, social movements, egalitarianism and democratic processes. Pol01. ‘I want to live like common people’. Narratives, semantics, and pictures of the popular within the populist transformation of political discourse Convenors: Johannes Springer (University of Göttingen); Sebastian Dümling (Universität Basel) Aula 29: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
As diverse as the global populist movements might seem from Modis Hindu radicalism, the British Brexit-nationalism to the US altright-movement a common thread that binds them together is the crucial importance of constructions of “the people”. While “the people” is a very embattled category, which can be appropriated from dierent political projects particular emphasis in most of the current movements is placed on the juxtaposition with governing, political, cultural, economic elites (mostly imagined and pictured as corrupt). This dialogic relationship must be understood as culturally productive in all sorts of ways. After all, contemporary discourses abound with narratives, semantics, and pictures of the popular and its opponent – the elite. This might be the reason for their success, as new interpretations of social, cultural and political realities, with the gure of “the common people” at its core, are shaped and carved out, always tapping into culturally available patterns of the people in past movements and times of crisis. This motif can not only be found in spheres of politics proper, but also in popular cultural, subcultures etc.: Heroes as stand in for the common people are a mainstay of Hollywood, experts and

Pol02. Shaking the city from the bottom-up. Ideologies and practices in the making of a pro-active urbanity Convenors: Pia Olsson (University of Helsinki); Tiina-Riitta Lappi (Migration Institute of Finland); Sara Kohne (Faculty of Humanities, University of Bergen) Aula 20: Wed 17th Apr, 11:15-13:00
People in dierent urban areas are, as it seems in more progressive ways than before, taking responsibility for the physical as well as social environments they live in. Thus many city dwellers try eagerly to cope and deal with a diversity of local developments that aect them. From little activities such as collecting garbage while jogging (‹plogging›) to bigger and more politically motivated meetings in their neighbourhood, people try dynamically to change and shape their surroundings towards what they think a good and including city should or could be like. In this panel we focus on revealing and analysing the practices as well as hopes and thoughts of the people that engage in what we would like to call a ‹pro-active urbanity›. Furthermore, we want to discuss dierent perspectives and ideologies related with that concept. We welcome papers dealing with a variety of questions such as why or when people get enthusiastic and start directly to engage in or with their local settings. How do people make sense of their (more or less politically) inuencing position and how are they organized for realizing their aspirations? What dilemmas do people possibly have to face with their activities? Furthermore we invite papers that oer insights into the eects of such engagements and self-organized activities on peoples’ sense of place as well as on their sense of community, hence opening up for another set of questions and reections regarding the formation of new or alternative forms of groups and communities that arise along with these activities.
Pol03. The ongoing brink of transformation - persistent activist aspirations of the same unachieved future Convenors: Friederike Faust (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin); Zülfukar Çetin (University of Basel); Justyna Struzik (Jagiellonian University) Aula 29: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
190 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels
The term “ongoing brink of transformation” describes a phenomenon within social movements across dierent times and places: Activists nd themselves in situations where the aspired future seems to lie within reach but nevertheless remains unachieved. E.g. activists keep on predicting the end of AIDS since decades, without ever having reached this goal. In this panel we will discuss how activists deal with the persistence of this situation, and the role of temporalities and time. We are particularly interested in the interplay of narrations of the past and aspirations of future transformations within social movements. Potential questions include (but are not limited to): What needs to be remembered and how (e.g. as milestone, momentum) in order to imagine future transformations? What and whose pasts are forgotten or trivialized in order to keep on aspiring? How do postcolonial, economic and geopolitical relations eect the concepts of time, and impact disparities within social movements? How do emotions and bodily conditions im-/mobilize people to keep on aspiring? How do devices (e.g. political documents, data visualisations, communication technologies) shape the aspired future? How do inequalities assemble around the access to these devices? How do activists navigate through desired utopias and anticipated unintended consequences? Who has the right to dene “in which times we are in” (Butler 2008), while other times are marginalized? What if a linear progress is obstructed by present circumstances and the future appears to “move backwards”; when repetition and reversal replace progress?
Pol04. Performing transformation, claiming transition: public gatherings and rituals in Catalonia from the 1970s to the present Convenors: Alessandro Testa (University of Vienna); Mariann Vaczi (University of Nevada, Reno); Dorothy Noyes (Ohio State University) Aula 29: Tue 16th Apr, 16:30-18:15
Catalonias participation in the Spanish transition to democracy in the 1970s found a potent resource in traditional festival: conceptual, gestural, and tactical. With the Franco regime’s tight restrictions on public assembly, “going out to the street became an act of democratic self-assertion, so that the high-risk confrontations of strike and protest were bolstered by lower-stakes, more multivocal forms of appearing in public. Rooted festival and associative traditions, Spains incorporation into international youth culture and European consumerism, the lifting of restrictions on assembly and expression after Francos death, and the eventual restoration of full democracy all encouraged a fervent reclamation of public space. Since the Transition, public gatherings and rituals have proliferated in Catalonia: new and old festivities attached to communal identities, youth and LGBT sociability, commemorative rituals,
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 191 List of panels international arts and sports events, social movement revindications, strikes and protests, rallies and referenda. Public actions of diverse tendencies provided rhetorical evidence for the convivència claimed as foundational to both Spanish and Catalan democracy, and, later, for claims of convivència’s breakdown. Today the public arena and the now-contested concept of convivència have become increasingly polarized around the issue of Catalan sovereignty. We invite historical tracking of such events across the democratic period and, conversely, ethnographic investigations of the traces of history in current public expressions. How have the powers of performance and the inertias of genre, interacting with radical transformation and pluralization in the social base of public expressions, contributed to the current situation? The congress theme “Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World” is ideally suited for the visual dimensions of posters which the organisers plan to showcase prominently, including a ‘people’s choice’ award for the best poster and for the most creative poster. The poster session invites students and scholars to present their ongoing research projects and/or results centred on the congress theme. The questions addressed, their theoretical implications and/or practical goals can be represented in visually appealing and conclusive posters. Contributors of posters will be present during the posters’s display times.
Religion and Rituals
Keeping track of rituals, religious practices, spiritualities and social change in various religious contexts. Reli01. Ethnography of ordinary worship routines. Materiality, spaces and changes across Europe [Ethnology of Religion Working Group] [R] Convenors: Cyril Isnart (Institut dEthnologie Méditerranéenne, Européenne et Comparative); Clara Saraiva (FLUL, University of Lisbon) Aula 25: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Anthropology, ethnology, and folklore have been focused on religious activities and places, which were unusual, marginal, singular, or simply out of the line with common and daily religious life. Ethnographies of popular religion, ways of pilgrimage, international shrines, shared sites, contested places, displaced religiosity, etc. give access to social, symbolic, or cultural dynamics, functions, and structures in very dierent, rich, and composite contexts. However, ordinary worship routines follow their own path and also react to social and historical events and transformations. Secularisation of European societies, heritage politics, tourism ows, migration, religious co-existence in urban regions, or

What are the ethnographic tools we can use to catch these discrete and banal evolutions? What can we learn from the extensive literature on extraordinary places of worship and alternative religions? What is the legacy of classical folklore studies on popular religion? Grounded on a series of European cases studies in a comparative perspective, this round- table comes back on the power of ethnography to describe and understand, the practices, places and material contexts of daily religious activities.
Reli02. The changing character of pilgrimages Convenors: Mario Katić (University of Zadar); John Eade (University of Roehampton) Aula 25: Tue 16th Apr, 11:15-13:00, 16:30-18:15
Since the Second World pilgrimage has become ever more signicant with increasing numbers of people visiting religious shrines, the proliferation of routes to these destinations and the development of non-religious modes, such as ‘spiritual’ and ‘secular’ pilgrimage. The interweaving of pilgrimage and tourism bound up with the global expansion of the travel and tourism industry and consumerism has also helped to break down the binary between pilgrimage and tourism and create hybrid forms such as pilgrimage tourism and religious tourism but also increase the privatization of pilgrimage sites expressed, for example, through regulation and control, and commercialization. In this workshop we want to explore these developments through a comparison between dierent sites around Europe and the wider world, focusing on: 1) changes in the organization of space and ritual at these sites and along the routes leading to these sites as well as changing modes of travel and consumerism; 2) and, relatedly, the role played by new technologies, such as the development of websites by shrines, the use of mobile phones, blogs, images by visitors as well as the contribution made by travel and tourism companies and the media.

This panel addresses the issue of new expressions of religiosity (c.q. spirituality) and of new religious movements which came into being during the past
Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 193 List of panels decades. Due to modern (social) media it became in recent years easier to disseminate and establish new or alternative religious views and movements. The topic relates to an increasing idiosyncratic or subjectivated behaviour of people to change track and to nd religious meaning or comfort outside the institutional/traditional religions. Sometimes explicit as in obvious cults and sects, however many expressions are constituted in an implicit way and are seemingly of a secular nature. For example, in Santiago de Compostela a ‘Camino of the atheists’ came into being by people who did not want to relate their walking to the Church and preferred to walk the ‘Celtic’ path towards the Finisterre cape, last year Avatar, the human potential movement, was again frontpage news as a sectarian ‘threat’, and celebrity adoration may also gain religious characteristics, albeit it remains unclear if musician Prince († 2016) gained a religious following or not. Papers are preferred that bring up new religious expressions – whether small-local or big-global – and discuss their nature, the ways on how they are created and how they were able to establish and keep following (motifs); further, papers evaluate the aspect of religiosity, especially for implicit expressions found somewhere betwixt and between the secular and sacred; also relevant is the movements position in society and possible confrontations with authorities (civil or clerical) and others.
Reli04. Fluidity and transformation in contemporary religiosity: re-tracking the sacred in a changing world. Convenors: Denise Lombardi (GSRL); Eugenia Roussou (CRIA/ISCTE-IUL) Aula 24: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Placing particular emphasis on the study of the so-called “alternative spiritualities”, this panel seeks to explore the notion of the sacred, as it is perceived, recongured and re-tracked in the changing landscape of (western) contemporary religiosity. Recent and current socio-economic and political changes have shaped the practice of contemporary religiosity both at a sociocultural and at a personal level. Observing contemporary spiritual practices, one can see how the notion of the sacred has migrated from ontological instances to individual perceptions. In this panel we aim to track the variety of pathways, deviations or even dead-ends that practitioners of alternative spirituality follow or reject in various sociocultural contexts, how they construct their own itineraries of religious belonging, focusing on the multiple and at times uid ways in which they re-imagine and re-track the ‘sacred’. We therefore invite the submission of ethnographically-based papers that explore these diverse, uid and complex mobilities; we are especially interested in receiving contributions that focus on the study of practices involving a communication with spiritual beings (such as angels, spirits of the dead and

Reli05. Spirituality: a transforming discourse of transformation Convenors: Jan Kapusta (University of Hradec Kralove); Zuzana Kosticova (Charles University); László Koppány Csáji (University of Pécs) Aula 22: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Today, we are witnessing a vibrant transformation of both society and religiosity. The discourse of individual “spirituality” is subjugating the discourse of institutional “religion”. Recently, some scholars have suggested replacing the model of the postmodern “spiritual supermarket” by a globalized “new age doxa”, embedded in the tradition of Western Esotericism. In this panel, we discuss spirituality(ies) as a reection of contemporary society. We track the ways in which people understand spirituality as a particular kind of knowledge and experience, mostly in terms of personal or global transformation, and examine how it penetrates the shifting religious narratives, discourses and worldviews of today’s transnational and glocal world. Thus, we are interested in spirituality as something that is changing its practitioners lives while its very meaning is also changing. This panel welcomes all empirical and theoretical contributions that further our understanding of the current spirituality discourse(s). The topic can be studied on New Age or nature based communities in particular, but also on popular and vernacular culture in general, both in and outside Europe (for instance on Neo-Pagan, Neo-Nativist, Neo- Indian or other indigenous narratives). We ask how adherents of spirituality and mainstream society interact and coproduce each other; how the motives of both Christian esoteric traditions and world’s indigenous cultures are picked and creatively adapted, reconstructed or invented; how intermixtures of diverse cultures produce new syncretic/hybrid vocabularies; how spirituality is imagined, lived and sensed in the everyday; how it promotes collectivity, social binding and solidarity; how it deals with uncertainty, precariousness and anxiety.

Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World 195 List of panels
This panel will be conceived as a chasing research game. The contributors will follow the tracks of the ritual year in dierent cultural settings with a special attention to the sociocultural values. The ritual year and its components are seen as having inuenced sociocultural values in diverse societies of various epochs, meanwhile each festival is an expression of specic values (religious, ideological, artistic, etc.) and a signicant value as such. Two dierent options are possible. The rst one is to study the set and the transformations of hierarchies of values from the archaic to the modern ritual year, looking at dierent festivals and rituals through space and time. The second one is to focus on special interactions between the ritual year and cultural performances, trying for instance to look at the inuence of the ritual year and festivals on literature/ narratives, on the arts and on music. The rst option opens space for broader analyses of the ritual year through history, while the second option calls for more precise examples and case studies in the eld of cultural practices, system of temporal and spatial metaphors and (re)interpretation of the calendric feasts. Combining the two options will hopefully lead us on the tracks of the ritual year, exploring both the continuities and changes of a universal motive and its axiology.
Rural
Transformations in country life, issues of traditional knowledge, and the cultural and socio-economic challenges rural areas face in the contemporary world. Rur01. Entangled countryside - tracking political negotiations and transformations of the rural Convenors: Bernhard Tschofen (University of Zurich); Sina Wohlgemuth (University of Bonn); Oliver Müller (University of Bonn) Aula 9: Mon 15th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Rural regions as well as rural imaginaries have currently become subject to dierent and partly divergent political negotiations and transformations. For example, the return of wolves has fuelled contentious negotiations of ideas of rural nature and rural everyday lifeworlds in dierent European countries. Right-wing and conservative politics in Germany or Austria have built their ideas of “Heimat” (aective dimension of “homeland”) fundamentally on nostalgic ideas of the rural. At the same time, rural regions and their inhabitants are subjected to EU structural and development policies such as LEADER, which aim to readjust rural economies implementing new forms of political and cultural participation. The panel aspires to track these dierent political processes. By which material and discursive practices are rural imaginations and materialities transformed in the process of political negotiation? How should we link local
196 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels everyday negotiations of the rural to transregional political dynamics? How do these political negotiations reformulate the dichotomy between the “rural” and the “urban”? How do right-wing politics reshape the ideas and imaginations of the rural? How do rural development policies transform subjectivities, everyday practices, and imaginations as well as materialities on the local level? Which perspectives are opened up for studying the transformation of political regimes by focusing on the everyday life implications of policies? We invite papers presenting ethnographic research and/or theoretical thoughts, as well as historical research, on how to grasp these political negotiations and transformations of the rural. Contributions focusing on processes in eastern and southern European countries are especially welcome.
Rur02. Tracking changes in the mountains: imaginaries, mobilities, narratives Convenors: Viviane Cretton Mballow (University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland); Andrea Boscoboinik (University of Fribourg); Maria Montserrat Soronellas Masdeu (Rovira i Virgili University) Aula 9: Tue 16th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The rapid changes in mountain areas are visible through built infrastructures, landscapes, and land-uses. However, this panel wishes to focus on a less visible change: new forms of social and cultural Otherness that nowadays recompose the mountain population. Mobilities and new ways of living in the mountain regions can be considered a phenomenon of international concern, closely intertwined with economic globalisation and neoliberal practices. The panel aims to explore the dierent expressions of this worldwide tendency through individual experiences, narratives and imaginaries about living in the mountains. We invite authors to present their empirical data focusing on mountainous space as an idealised place, or not, for living. The focus will be on individuals or families that settle either temporary or permanently in the mountains. Theoretical frames like lifestyle migration, amenity-led migration and multilocality have been developed to understand new forms of migration and dwelling, that take particularly into account perceptions of environmental quality and the valorisation of non-urban areas in terms of individuals’ lifestyle choice. This panel wish to consider other forms of migration and mobilities as well, revealing choices and identities that constitute life paths. The panel’s purpose is to foster stimulating talks that relate specic aspects of tracking gentrication, touristication and urbanisation processes in mountain areas. How are they related to representations and fantasies of mountain environment and villages? Which are the outcomes of these new mobility experiences for both newcomers and locals, for environment, land and socio-economical issues?

Transforming transhumance pastoralism, ‘heritagization’ and new rural economies Convenors: Patrick Fabre (Maison de la Transhumance); Letizia Bindi (Università degli Studi del Molise) Discussant: Cyril Isnart (Institut dEthnologie Méditerranéenne, Européenne et Comparative) Aula 9: Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
Pastoralism is one of the most diused and ancient forms of human subsistence. In the last decades, nonetheless, sheep and cattle breeding has been transformed or inuenced by processes of modernisation, mechanization and intensive milk/meat/wool production. This has implied sometimes a transformation of the practices, a certain shift in the knowledge transmission. Nonetheless in many European countries transhumance still resists as an ecient form of breeding and as characteristic form of shaping landscape. Because of this ‘heritage-turn’, we are assisting on the one hand to the growth of ‘slow-move’ tourism in pastoral areas, to a regeneration of pastoral landscape, of marketing of the territories and products. On the other hand we also note the maintenance or a new interest in traditional pastoralism, considered more sustainable, healthy and respectful of the environment, of animals and people. Many researches are documenting the increasing presence of new shepherds/ breeders in dierent European regions, ‘return shepherds’, engaged in a new awareness about the opportunity of maintaining and revitalizing transhumant pastoralism and the production of related traditional cheeses, meats and wool. Thus, pastoral routes and communities can represent today a powerful resource for local development and for cultural landscape safeguard. An ancient and traditional ‘world of life’ that resists the wear and tear of time and late modernity by re-discovering and rediscovering itself in the light of contemporary ecological, animal and community sensibilities.

Recent years have witnessed a burgeoning interest in cuteness across cultures and disciplines. This is far from coincidental, given that “cuteness is a rising
198 Track Changes: Reecting on a Transforming World List of panels trend in global popular culture” (Joshua Paul Dale). One need only think of the dissemination of East Asian concepts of cuteness (kawaii, aegyo) in the wake of the increased global popularity of Japanese and Korean popular culture. While scholars in cultural studies have explored how ‘cuteness’ is tied to gender stereotypes, the impact of consumption cultures, or to an agenda of making state authority more palatable (e.g. ‘Hello Kitty’ road blocks in Japan), scholars in the arts have called for more attention to cuteness as an aesthetic category because it indexes conditions of late capitalism. This panel seeks to engage with the phenomenon of ‘cuteness’ as a marker of transforming contemporary lifeworlds. We invite papers from various disciplines that cover but are not limited to the following questions: How may ‘cuteness’ be dened? Is ‘cute’ inherently supercial or does it have deeper implications? What are important dierences between culturally specic notions of ‘cuteness’? How is cuteness constructed linguistically in specic cultures (diminutives, special “feminine” and “infantile” adjectives and nouns)? What functions does ‘cuteness’ full in contemporary socio-cultural worlds? How is cuteness bound with power structures and attachments? And how may various artistic and linguistic expressions contribute to our understanding of cuteness? We will send panel participants some reading on cuteness studies as this may be helpful for enlivening our discussion by serving as a common basis.
Sui02. Current images of socialism Convenors: Jana Nosková (Czech Academy of Sciences); Lubica Volanska (Slovak Academy of Sciences); Kirsti Jõesalu (University of Tartu) Aula 8 (Andrés S. Suárez): Wed 17th Apr, 09:00-10:45, 11:15-13:00
The aim of the panel is to discuss the current representations/images of socialism, as communicated by the generation of personal witnesses, and how the existing attitudes and values of the respondents are inuenced by the fact that they lived in socialism. The contributions shall also concentrate on the ways, how these ideas are transmitted to the younger generation (children, grandchildren): How does the next generation deal with the experience of their ancestors, how do the (grand)children feel about it and how do they integrate this experience into their own identities? Due to unsucient coverage of this era in the national school curricula, the youngest generation´s ideas and knowledge about the everyday life in the period of socialism are habitually shaped by the family memory (Welzer 2014). The panel shall deal with the relation between the family memory and the often ambivalent public discourses: How the period of socialism is transmitted also at the cultural and political level of remembering. The papers should focus mostly on contemporary societies. There exist a variety of research designs related to the intergenerational transfer of representations in post-socialist countries in Europe. There are several countries, like

Slovakia, where systematic research using the oral history method is still in the beginnings; whereas it is more developed in countries like Czechia or Estonia. One of the panels goals is to present small pieces of the mosaic coming from the often exotised Eastern part of Europe and try to ll the blind spots on the map.
